Director Roman Doroniuk to
Serve as Interim CFO
MONTREAL, June 8, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Data-driven marketing
and loyalty analytics company Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) today announced
that Chief Financial Officer Tor
Lønnum will be leaving the company in September. Family
reasons spurred his decision to seek out a new role that allowed
him to return to Copenhagen.
Aimia Group Chief Executive David
Johnston, together with the Board of Directors, has
appointed Aimia director Roman Doroniuk to act as Interim
Chief Financial Officer, effective September
5, while a successor is sought. Lønnum will lead the
reporting of the company's second quarter results on August 9, and then work with Doroniuk until
September for a smooth transition.
Doroniuk will remain a member of the Board during this interim
period, but will step down from his roles on both the Audit and
Human Resources and Compensation committees.
"Tor has been an exceptional member of the team, and while I'm
disappointed to lose him, I respect his need to put his family
first and take a role that allows him to return to Denmark," Johnston said. "With Roman, we are
in capable and seasoned hands, with a deep understanding of our
business. He will hit the ground running."
Doroniuk has been a member of Aimia's Board since 2005, and has
led the Audit Committee since the company became public.
Doroniuk sits on the board of Martinrea International Inc. and
acts as the court-appointed special receiver in the matter of the
Livent Inc. bankruptcy. He has held past C-suite roles at Magna
International Inc., Magna Entertainment Corp., Lions Gate
Entertainment, and Alliance Communications Corp., where he was
Chief Financial Officer.
