Louis Audet of Cogeco and Madeleine Paquin of LOGISTEC named 2020 Great builders of the Quebec economy Montreal, November 18, 2020—As part of its biennial celebration of the Great builders of the Quebec economy, the IGOPP has named Louis Audet, Executive Chair of the Board of Cogeco, and Madeleine Paquin, President and CEO of LOGISTIC, as the laureates of its sixth edition. [...] The Chair of IGOPP’s Board, Yvan Allaire, praised the two honorees: “The IGOPP is especially pleased to highlight the success of companies such as Cogeco and Logistec, which are a compelling example of what we call a ‘capitalism of owners,’ that is, a capitalism forged by companies that are controlled by entrepreneurs and their families who have established long- lasting businesses.” “Cogeco and L. [...] Their success and their exceptional contribution to the Quebec economy are a particularly enlightening example for new generations of entrepreneurs.” A bronze plaque for each of the laureates will be added to the Wall honouring the Great builders of the Quebec economy, on the mezzanine at 1000 de la Gauchetière West, which features more than a dozen builders. [...] The company's success is rooted in the vision and leadership of its founder, Roger Paquin, and is based on the business acumen, determination and commitment to excellence demonstrated by Madeleine Paquin, who succeeded her father as President and CEO in 1996. [...] About IGOPP: Created in 2005 by two academic institutions (HEC Montréal and Concordia University – The John Molson School of Business), the Stephen Jarislowsky Foundation and the Autorité des marchés financiers, the Institute for governance (IGOPP) has become a centre for excellence about governance of public and private organizations.
