“I would like to personally thank Barry for his leadership, loyalty, and service to RouteOne over the years,” said Justin Oesterle, RouteOne Canada CEO. “I know that he is looking forward to his next chapter with pleasure and anticipation. He will be missed by his team, colleagues, and customers alike.”
As part of the transition, Anthony Goulbourne has been promoted to senior vice president, reporting directly to Oesterle.
