U of S alumnus to lead Roughriders

Craig Reynolds (BComm,98, MPAcc'99) was recently announced as the next president and CEO of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, replacing Jim Hopson on March 1, 2015.

Originally from Foam Lake, Sask., the Edwards School of Business grad worked overseas for several years for KPMG and Thomson Scientific. In 2005, he returned to Canada and held a variety of managerial positions with Suncor Energy in Calgary and Fort McMurray, Alta.

Reynolds joined the Riders in 2009 as their chief financial officer (CFO), and was promoted to senior vice-president and CFO three years later.

He has been actively involved with the development of the new stadium—particularly developing the club's capital campaign—and also chaired the 2013 Grey Cup committee.
