Osborne to Succeed Chisholm as Samuel CEO
Written by Tim Triplett
Canada’s Samuel, Son & Co., Limited, has named Colin Osborne to replace the retiring Bill Chisholm as the company’s president and chief executive officer, effective Aug. 1. Osborne has been transitioning to the leadership role since late 2018 as Samuel’s president and chief operating officer. Chisholm has served as CEO since 2013.
“On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank Bill for his dedication to Samuel and to wish him the very best in his retirement. It has been a pleasure to work with Bill in modernizing this great family enterprise,” stated Mark Samuel, chairman of the board. “Colin’s depth of experience across our business makes him ideally suited to be our next president and CEO, and we look forward to having him step into this role in August. He has the full support of the family and the Board.”
