SLSMC welcomes president
The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation’s (SLSMC) board of directors has appointed Demetrios (Jim) Athanasiou as the corporation’s next president and chief executive officer, effective 12 July 2024.
He replaces Terence F. Bowles, who is retiring as the longest serving Seaway president, having taken over this role in November 2010. Prior to joining the SLSMC, Boyles was president and CEO of the Iron Ore Company of Canada and worked for many years with QIT Fer et Titane du Quebec.
Athanasiou came to SLSMC in 2008 as corporate mechanical engineering manager. He followed this with ever-increasing responsibility, including as vice president engineering and technology and the recent renewal of a 20-year’s management, operation, and maintenance agreement between the SLSMC and Canada’s federal government.
