Canadian National CEO to take medical leave to remove tumour
CANADIAN National Railway president and CEO Claude Mongeau will take medical leave at end of August to undergo surgery to remove a tumour in the larynx, the company announced.
Treatment involves six weeks of radiation. While Mr Mongeau intends to remain president and CEO, vice president and CFO Luc Jobin will coordinate the CN leadership team and take direction from the company's board of directors until Mr. Mongeau can return to work later this fall.
Said Mr Mongeau said: "This is a serious health setback for me personally, but one of CN's core strengths is that we have a very experienced and tightly-knit senior team that knows how to lead our railway to success. For this reason, I have all the confidence in the world that CN will not miss a beat while I take good care of myself to recover fully."
