Mr. Penner is the President and CEO of Richelieu Hosiery International Inc., a privately-owned manufacturer and marketer of high-quality legwear based in Montreal. Under his leadership, the struggling local hosiery manufacturer has turned into North America’s leading provider of high-quality legwear, with the most diverse international sourcing model on the continent.
In 2011, Mr. Penner spearheaded Richelieu’s expansion into the United States, by acquiring substantial assets of International Legwear Group of North Carolina and orchestrating a complete turnaround of the ailing company. In 2014, Penner announced that Richelieu will invest a further $24 million in the United States, this time to build a new automated sock-making facility.
Mr. Penner is a graduate of Montreal’s McGill University and of Hofstra University School of Law in New York. Prior to joining Richelieu in 1998, Mr. Penner practiced law in New York, first at Rivkin, Radler and Kremer, and then at Olsten Corporation. He lives in Montreal with his wife and their five young children.
The Desautels Faculty of Management's Program for International Competitiveness at McGill University is sponsored by Deloitte.
