QUEBECOR WORLD ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION OF MICHEL DESBIENS
JEAN NEVEU APPOINTED INTERIM CEO
Montreal, Canada — Quebecor World Inc. announces that Michel Desbiens has resigned as President and CEO for personal reasons. Jean Neveu will replace him on an interim basis, effective immediately. Mr. Neveu has a long and successful history with the Company having served as President and CEO from 1989 until 1997 and as Chairman of the Board from 1989 until 2002.
Mr. Desbiens joined Quebecor World as CEO of International Operations in November, 2002. He was appointed President and CEO of Quebecor World Inc. in February of this year. "I was very pleased to take on this responsibility and looked forward to contributing to the future success of the world's largest commercial printer," said Mr. Desbiens. "However in recent weeks certain family issues have come to light that make it impossible for me to provide the required level of focus in this role."
The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Chairman of the Board of Quebecor World Inc. commented, "I want to thank Michel for his contributions to the Company during the last several months and although we would have preferred that he continue with us we understand that this decision is best for him and his family."
Mr. Neveu has more than 30 years of experience in the printing and media industry and was one of the main forces behind the development of Quebecor World. As a former CEO and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Neveu has been involved in all of the Company's major decisions during the last decade. He will serve on an interim basis until a new CEO is chosen.
"I am pleased that Jean has chosen to accept this position," said Mr. Mulroney. "His knowledge of the Company and the industry will be invaluable."
