BC Ferries has announced today that Mike Corrigan is stepping down as the president and CEO of BC Ferries when his term is up on March 31, 2017.
BC Ferries’ Board Chair Donald Hayes made announcement today the annual public meeting.
Hayes said that Corrigan’s decision to step down comes at a time when the company is being recognized externally for its strong culture of safety and performance, ridership and revenues are approaching an all time high.
An executive search has already begun. Hayes said they would look at potential candidates within B.C. Ferries and outside.
Corrigan has been with BC Ferries for the last 13 years and has led the organization as the CEO since 2012, replacing David Hahn.
“I want to thank BC residents, and our visitors from outside our province, for the trust they’ve placed in BC Ferries to safely deliver them to the people and places that are important in their lives,” said Mike Corrigan, President and CEO of BC Ferries.
Corrigan said the decision to leave BC Ferries wasn’t an easy one to make.
“It is never easy to step down and let someone else take the helm. So I’m stepping down with mixed emotions, because my time at BC Ferries has been tremendously rewarding and satisfying. I am at a stage in my career that I feel it is time to pursue new opportunities.”
Hayes said that the Board appreciates the lengthy notice Corrigan provided.
