A veteran Canadian dealmaker and a London investment banker are front-runners to be the next chief executive officer at Canaccord Genuity Group Inc., people familiar with the process said.
The contenders are Daniel Daviau, the executive responsible for about half of the Toronto-based financial-services firm’s revenue, and Alexis de Rosnay, the son of a French baron and a former banker at companies including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private. Both men will present their business plans to the board next month.
