Parkland undergoes corporate upheaval

US major forecourt operator, Parkland Corp. shuffled the roles of three of its vice presidents in recent weeks, continuing a tumultuous month highlighted by its CEO announcing his departure amid a board takeover attempt by the company’s largest shareholder.

The Calgary, Alberta-based retailer, which operates about 200 c-stores in the U.S. named Elliott Collyer as VP of growth and development in North America; Andrea Dafoe as VP of services and programs in North America; and Alison Manning as VP people and culture in North America.

A Parkland spokesperson confirmed all three shifts, noting that they are part of the company’s strategy to bring its U.S. and Canadian operations together. This strategy commenced when Parkland appointed former CFO Marcel Teunissen as president of North America in December, the spokesperson said.

As VP of growth and development, Collyer will oversee the capital planning and deployment for Parkland’s retail and commercial business across both Canada and the U.S., he noted in his LinkedIn bio. His “functional responsibilities” will include network planning, real estate, construction, maintenance, and acquisitions and divestments, he said.
