MONTREAL, Dec. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Senvest Capital Inc.

He pioneered this industry in Canada, as well as the Canadian Pay TV industry through an investment in First Choice Communications, where he also served as Chief Executive Officer. He guided the Corporation through a series of transformations that ensured its continued success across evolving economies and business cycles. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his exceptional business acumen and his caring, nurturing nature as a person.”
