Pollard Banknote Limited announced the planned retirement of Rob Rose from the role of Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, effective December 31, 2026. Over the last thirty-one years, Mr. Rose has been an integral member of Pollard Banknote’s executive management team, helping guide the Company through tremendous growth and strategic transformation with professionalism and steady leadership. An executive search process for his successor has commenced.
“Rob has played a major role in Pollard Banknote’s growth from a small private printing company with $40 million in revenues and three locations in Canada to a publicly-traded company that is a leading international supplier of a full range of both printed and digital products to the lottery and charitable gaming industries with $600 million in revenue and 20 locations across North America and Europe. Under Rob’s leadership, the Company had a successful IPO, made the conversion from an income trust to a corporate share structure, arranged multiple financings to facilitate our growth and completed over a dozen acquisitions. We would like to both congratulate and thank Rob on behalf of the Company, our employees and the Board of Directors for his remarkable contributions,” said John Pollard.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to work with such amazing people throughout the Pollard group of companies. I am extremely grateful for the passion, dedication and professionalism of our teams and am pleased to support a smooth transition over the coming months. I look forward to seeing the Company continue to pursue its strategic initiatives under new financial leadership and I will cheer on the team as the Company continues to grow and succeed,” said Mr. Rose.
