Inc. comes with the title of
chief corporate development
offi cer. She is actively looking at the opportunities the
credit union should be involved in while at the same
time focusing on its expansion nationwide.
For Lisa Marcuzzi at ArcelorMittal Dofasco,
continuing to monitor the trade issues dominating
the headlines over the last year are top of mind,
along with dealing with investment to revitalize
the company's operations. Others, such as Daniel
Bourque and Sacha Fraser of Xerox, are part of a push
to invigorate Xerox as a tech powerhouse, managing
it all with a small internal legal team in a unique
situation where they are co-managing legal matters
and guiding new arrangements with external counsel.
For Harpreet Sidhu of Pethealth Inc., a Fairfax
Company, growth has been a constant. As she said,
"We have grown progressively in the past fi ve years
by acquiring the pet insurance book of business from
PC Financial and RSA. Each year we have made
progress as a team and as a business. As we continue
on our journey, the theme for 2019 is growth."
In fact, for all of the companies profi led, growth is
the common theme. Nothing stays the same for long
these days and these lawyers are key players in the
future business of these big brand names.
