The Caisse de d\u00e9p\u00f4t et placement du Qu\u00e9bec is making a number of personnel changes as part of its response to the economic challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of the year, it was clear that the challenges of the next decade would be very different from the last decade\u2019s challenges,\u201d said Charles Emond, president and chief executive officer of the Caisse, in a press release. \u201cSince then, in only a few weeks, the world as we know it has transformed. It\u2019s even more important to have increased agility in our decision-making processes and closer coordination in all aspects of strategy and managing our assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these appointments and changes to our structure, we can fully leverage the talent of our people. Regrouping our teams within strong business units will increase our efficiency and ability to seize more opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
