“The pleasing part is that the marketplace is giving the company credit for the transformational events that have occurred.”

“As a result of our focus on our corporate priorities, being cost transformation, international growth, customer engagement, and culture change, we’ve seen an important improvement in virtually every metric by which a company is measured.”

“There’s no question that success breeds success.”

- Calin Rovinescu, Financial Post, October 17, 2013

Also:

“It takes a great entrepreneur to start a business with a clean sheet of paper, but it takes enormous entrepreneurial talent to convert a 75-year-old company into something that is entrepreneurial,” says Rovinescu. And yes, he’s talking about himself.

How's that for a start?
