MaRS CEO Ilse Treurnicht to step down after 12 years

Ilse Treurnicht, CEO of Canadian innovation hub MaRS Discovery District, will step down at the next annual general meeting in June 2017. Treurnicht, who headed Toronto-based MaRS for almost twelve years, said the organization is entering a next phase of growth and that it is the right time "for a new leader to take the helm.” MaRS' board has appointed a special committee to direct a search process for a new CEO. Treurnicht joined MaRS in 2005 after serving for over six years as CEO of Primaxis Technology Ventures, a Canadian venture capital firm.
