Canada’s Mawer Names Board Member Eric Wetlaufer as Interim CEO

Mawer Investment Management Ltd. appointed Eric Wetlaufer as interim chief executive officer while Bruce Geddes takes a leave of absence due to personal circumstances, the firm said.

Wetlaufer will temporarily step down as an advisory director on Mawer’s board to assume the interim role, effective Monday, according to a statement. “While we look forward to having Bruce return to his CEO role in due course, we believe Eric is exceptionally well suited to guide the firm through this interim period,” Craig Senyk, chair of Mawer’s board, said in the statement.
