RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canso Select Opportunities Corporation (TSX Venture: CSOC.A, CSOC.B) (the “Company” or “CSOC”) is pleased to announce the following senior management changes.

Effective immediately, Mr. Brian Carney is relinquishing his roles as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in order to spend more time in his portfolio management role with the Canso Group of Companies. He will continue to serve as a non-executive Director.

The Board of Directors has named Mr. Timothy Hicks to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of CSOC. Tim joined Canso Investment Counsel Ltd. (Canso), the portfolio management arm within the Canso Group of Companies, in 2009, as a Portfolio Manager. Prior to joining Canso, Tim spent 15 years at Russell Investments in various investment roles, including CIO at Russell Canada, and most recently as Director, North American Equity based at Russell Investments in the USA. Tim will also join the Corporation’s Investment Committee.

Mrs. Heather Mason-Wood is appointed as Chair of the Board of the Corporation. Heather joined Canso in 2003 as a Portfolio Manager after a career in corporate and commercial banking and currently holds the position of Chief Strategy and Operating Officer. Heather has held a variety of senior positions at Canso as well as Board positions at not for profit entities.

The addition of Heather as Chair and Tim as President and CEO strengthens the already deep management team of CSOC. 

We look forward to working with Tim, Heather and Brian to execute CSOC’s mission, creating long-term value for our shareholders.
