Metro appoints new chief financial officer

Metro Inc. has appointed Nicolas Amyot as executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer.

Amyot takes up the role this spring, succeeding François Thibault, who announced his retirement last fall.

The executive brings 30 years experience in finance to Metro. 

Amyot joins the grocer after a 20-year career with aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, most recently serving as vice president of finance.

"I would like to thank François once again for his close collaboration and his great contribution to our success. I am very pleased to welcome Nicolas to the executive team and we look forward to benefiting from his solid experience and proven leadership to support our growth," said Eric La Flèche, president and CEO, in a release.

Amyot will join Metro on March 17 as EVP of finance. He will work closely with Thibault until his retirement on April 17 before transitioning into the role.
