MONTREAL – QMI Entertainment & Sports president and CEO Aldo Giampolo is leaving the company after just one year on the job, Quebecor said Wednesday.
Giampolo is joining Feeling Productions as CEO, and among other responsibilities, will be managing the career of Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion.
"Despite the exciting challenges I faced at Quebecor, working with one of the world's most popular and high-profile entertainers was a unique opportunity and a challenge I couldn't pass up," said Giampolo, in the announcement. "I know I am leaving behind me a solid team that is well equipped to continue the development of QMI Entertainment & Sports, including the opening of the new Quebec City amphitheatre in 2015."
"We were naturally saddened by the news but we take comfort in the fact that the longstanding relationship between Feeling Productions, Rene Angelil, Celine Dion and Quebecor's various subsidiaries will enable us to continue working with Aldo on sensational new projects," added Quebecor president and CEO Pierre Dion.
