VC and Ex-Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed Dies at 69

Under Mohamed, Rogers grew its wireless business — it’s still Canada’s largest — and made significant inroads in sports. It joined with rival BCE Inc. in 2011 on a deal for a majority stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd., which owns Toronto’s major-league hockey, basketball and soccer teams. That long alliance ended this year when Rogers acquired BCE’s stake and took control of MLSE.
