He is a former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, and led the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters before joining the Chamber.

Beatty says the next leader will “bring a fresh perspective” to the organization.

The Chamber says a special committee will conduct the search for the next president and CEO through a recruitment firm.
