MONTREAL ― Robert Dutton, former president and CEO of RONA inc., has joined the board of directors of La Coop fédérée, where he will help out with Groupe BMR. As president of RONA from 1992 to 2012, Dutton led RONA through incredible growth, making it the number-one home improvement retailer in the country. Following a failed takeover of RONA by Lowe’s in 2012, he exited the company. In his new capacity, Dutton will take on a number of duties and functions. Most notably, he will be part of the audit committee of BMR’s parent company, La Coop fédérée, and he will lend his expertise to the consolidation of the BMR acquisition.
