The president and CEO of one of Canada’s largest financial services firms has died following complications related to a health incident while racing in a triathlon in Hawaii.
Canaccord Genuity announced April 2 Paul Reynolds will be replaced by chairman David Kassie.
Reynolds was 52 at the time of his death. He’s survived by a wife and four children.
"This is a difficult day for everyone at Canaccord Genuity. As the architect of our firm's global transformation, Paul's distinct style of partnership, friendship and respect over three decades of commitment is just part of the legacy he leaves us all," Kassie said in a statement.
"On behalf of all employees and the Board of Directors, I extend our deepest condolences and support to Paul's family and to the many people who came to know him as a colleague, mentor and friend."
Kassie has served as chairman since 2010 and will retain that position with Canaccord.
