The Globe and Mail says Saturday that Rogers Communications saw a dramatic power struggle that ended with the abrupt departure of chief financial officer (CFO) Tony Staffieri after a board meeting in September. It says that chairperson Edward Rogers tried unsuccessfully to unseat CEO Joe Natale. His choice was apparently Mr Staffieri. The board meeting in question saw substantial support for Mr. Natale led by Mr. Rogers sister, Melinda, who is deputy chair. The Globe and Mail requires a subscription but an account of this conflict is published by MobileSyrup (below).
