Horn became the telecom’s chief financial officer in 1996 after working for the Rogers family holding company
Alan Horn, a Rogers Communications Inc. director who has served a number of key roles at the telecom and media giant, has died, according to sources.
Mr. Horn, an accountant with a mathematics degree from Scotland’s University of Aberdeen, became the telecom’s chief financial officer in 1996 after working for the Rogers family holding company, Rogers Telecommunications Ltd. The passing of Mr. Horn leaves an empty seat on the advisory committee to the Rogers family’s Rogers Control Trust, which steers the wireless giant through its ownership of 97.5 per cent of the company’s voting Class A shares. It is unclear how or when that spot, or the one left vacant by the passing of family matriarch Loretta Rogers last year, will be filled.
The boardroom battle eventually landed in a British Columbia court, which handed Mr. Rogers a victory that allowed him to replace five of the company’s independent directors without a shareholder meeting. The new board fired Mr. Natale, replacing him with the company’s long-standing chief financial officer, Tony Staffieri.
