Jun 16, 2020 | 12:50 PM

Innisfail-based EQUS has announced the appointment of a new CEO.

Andy Metzger takes over in the role starting July 1 with the retirement of current CEO Patricia Bourne.

“Andy’s appointment is the result of a national search that garnered applications from across Canada and the EQUS Board of Directors is delighted that an internal candidate rose to the top,” the company says in a release. “We are equally pleased, as an Alberta-based company and a co-operative, to be able to acknowledge and retain Alberta expertise.”

EQUS says Metzger has played an integral role over the last two years as a key member of the Executive Team and the company-wide Operations Team Leader. Prior to joining EQUS he held senior positions in other Alberta-based companies.

“Andy is well informed about EQUS’ strategic plans, goals and objectives,” EQUS says. “He brings values-based leadership skills and a commitment to co-operative principles to the role and is well positioned to lead EQUS into the future.”
