Carmen Fortino has been named Metro’s senior vice-president and leader of its Ontario division, effective Sept. 2. He steps into the role that was vacated by Johanne Choinière in April of this year. Metro CEO Eric La Flèche made the announcement during a conference call.
Fortino is a former Loblaw executive, where he served as executive vice-president of the Ontario region. He has also held executive positions at Seroyal International, Atrium Innovations, and most recently at GNC Holdings Inc. as its executive vice-president of business development.
“Carmen is a seasoned operator with a broad experience in all facets of food retail, and more recently in the health and wellness sector internationally,” says La Flèche. “I look forward to working with Carmen and our Ontario executive team to build on the momentum we’re seeing in the business today.”
