Pelmorex Corp. has named Maureen Rogers as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective Feb. 1.

She succeeds Dr. Nana Banerjee, who had held the role since April 2023. Rogers has worked with Pelmorex for the last 14 years, most recently serving as CEO of Pelmorex’s TV Networks and Managing Director of Weather Canada, which includes digital and TV brands, The Weather Network and MétéoMédia, as well as Alert Ready/En Alerte, Canada’s public emergency alerting system.

“We are thrilled to appoint Maureen to the role of President & CEO,” said Marc Morrissette, Executive Chair of Pelmorex Corp., in a company announcement. “Anyone who has worked with Maureen would surely have witnessed her sharp business acumen, strong people and communication skills, and overall effective leadership. Maureen has been running key parts of our business for many years with exceptional results and we are confident that Pelmorex’s future is bright with her at the helm.”

The company said Rogers will focus on accelerating Pelmorex’s strategic initiatives and work to continue to expand its market presence.

“I am honoured and excited to take on this new role in an organization that I have been a part of for many years,” said Rogers. “I look forward to continuing to work closely with the talented team at Pelmorex, to build on our strong foundation, explore our many new opportunities for growth, and deliver exceptional value to our customers and stakeholders.”

Prior to joining Pelmorex, Rogers served as Vice-President and General Manager of Citytv from 2008-10, and was an executive at Canwest for more than a decade, leaving as Vice-President and GM of Global Television.

Rogers, who is fluent in both English and French, currently serves as Co-Chair of the National Alert Aggregation and Dissemination Governance Council, accountable for Canada’s emergency alerts infrastructure. She was also elected to the Board of Directors in 2023 at the Canadian Red Cross and serves on the Human Resources Committee.
