Transcontinental CFO Daniel Denault and Transcontinental Media president André Préfontaine have announced their departure this week. At press time, there was no word on where Prefontaine is headed next, though it was announced that Denault has taken the role of CFO at Bombardier. Préfontaine helmed Transcon Media, overseeing the acquisition of the Telemedia and Avid Media magazines, and the CanWest and Optipress newspapers. He was also instrumental in the launch of Elle Canada and daily Métro. President and chief executive officer, Luc Desjardins, will take over for Préfontaine in the interim. Denault will remain in his role until February 17 when treasurer Benoit Huard will step in as interim CFO.
