Rebecca McKillican Appointed to BCE Board as Katherine Lee Retires
Rebecca McKillican, former CEO of McKesson Canada, has joined the Board of Directors at BCE Inc. and Bell Canada. Her appointment coincides with the departure of Katherine Lee, who is stepping down after 11 years of service, marking a shift in the telecommunications giant's governance structure.
Mirko Bibic, President and CEO of BCE, emphasized that her expertise in driving operational excellence is expected to support Bell’s growth strategies.
