Montreal Port CFO the Latest Executive to Leave as Leadership Exodus Grows
An interim finance head has been appointed as Alban Fournier leaves for a private-sector job amid a leadership shakeup at Canada’s second-largest port.
- On Monday, April 13, 2026, the Montreal Port Authority announced chief financial officer Alban Fournier will depart in less than two weeks for a new private sector position.
- This departure follows the abrupt exit of chief executive Julie Gascon earlier this month, barely two years into her tenure, and the port's chief commercial officer's departure last month.
- The executive turnover coincides with a half-decade of lagging cargo volumes and multiple labour strikes since 2020, even as Prime Minister Mark Carney broke ground on a major expansion.
- An interim head of finance has been appointed, according to port authority spokeswoman Larouche, who says the transition is progressing smoothly despite the departures.
- The facility recently secured a $1.16-billion loan from Ottawa for its first fast-tracked expansion project, positioning the port to address operational challenges amid the leadership transition.
