MEC's CEO David Labistour To Step Down In 2019
MEC announced that David Labistour, who joined the company in 2003 (as Senior Manager of Buying and Design) and has been CEO since 2008, will step down in June 2019.
Under David’s leadership, MEC has grown from 2.7 to 5.1 million members, opened 11 new stores, and developed events programming which has reached hundreds of thousands of active Canadians. MEC’s Board of Directors will oversee the process of selecting a new CEO, working with David to manage a seamless transition that ensures MEC continues to thrive.
“I consider myself very fortunate because I’ve been able to align my passions with my work every day for the past 11 years. I truly believe in MEC’s purpose and I’m incredibly proud of everything we do to get people active outside. Our co-op has come a long way over the years and I’m looking forward to watching it continue to grow and become more relevant to more Canadians for many years to come. For the next 8 months my focus will be on MEC and then I’ll take some time to decide on my next adventures.”
