LAVAL, Que. – Former Quebecor CEO Robert Depatie has been appointed to head the St-Hubert restaurant and food chain, less than seven months after he left the media company due to unexplained health issues.
The 56-year-old executive who also guided the growth of Quebecor’s Videotron cable service for more than a decade before he departed.
Depatie will take over St-Hubert in February. He previously worked at Heinz Canada and Planters.

Quebecor (TSX:QBR.B) announced on April 28 that Depatie was “retiring”and leave by May 30, a year after he was named CEO to replace Pierre Karl Peladeau, who entered politics and is currently running for the leadership of the Parti Quebecois.
