Montréal, July 20, 2021
Denis Lefrançois, President and CEO of SHOWSDT is pleased to announce that Nancy McNeil successfully guided the company through the Human Resources challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her wealth of experience, having served in several senior leadership roles over the years with Solotech, Scapin and Show Distribution, allowed her to take on this daunting challenge with success. She will now be able to devote herself more fully to her role as Chief Operating Officer while maintaining her position of Director of Human Resources.
In her continued role as Chief Operating Officer, Nancy will oversee all aspects of SHOWSDT’s operations. Her familiarity with all the company’s business unit leadership teams and their strategies for growth will benefit the group’s continued development in Canada and the United States.
Mr. Lefrançois emphasizes that, “SHOWSDT is well positioned to continue on its path of consolidation of its current businesses and to pursue its growth through acquisitions in new markets and sectors. Nancy, a key player of our executive team, is ready to lead us through these exciting times when the entertainment sector is emerging from an exceedingly difficult period for both the rental and the sales divisions. The future is bright, and our team is ready for the challenges ahead.”
