Montreal-headquartered TVA Group has appointed Marjorie Daoust as VP of finance after Anick Dubois (pictured above) announced she’s stepping down from the role.

Daoust assumed the position effective Friday, according to a news release from the subsidiary of Quebecor Media, which said Dubois “has informed management of her decision to leave the corporation after more than 15 years with the group.”

Dubois will work with Daoust until April 28 “to ensure a smooth transition” until her departure, added the release.

Daoust will be responsible for the execution of TVA Group’s financial plan. She’s been with TVA Group since 2011 and was previously senior director of finance, leading a team of more than 20 people.

During her 12 years with the communications company, Daoust “has demonstrated leadership and rigorous financial management skills,” said the release.

“Marjorie Daoust is a seasoned professional who has built an excellent reputation at TVA Group,” said Pierre Karl Péladeau, acting president and CEO of TVA Group, in a statement. “Our new vice president of finance is well deserving of the important role she has been given.”

Dubois joined TVA Group in 2007 and was announced as VP of finance in January 2019. Péladeau thanked her for her contribution to the corporation, noting that “with her skills and thoroughness, Anick was able to guide TVA Group’s divisions through the many challenges facing our industry.”

TVA Group announced a restructuring that would result in the loss of more than 200 jobs across TVA and parentco Quebecor entities this past February. The cuts came after TVA reported a $300,000 loss for Q4.
