| Rocky Gaudrault leaves TekSavvy for new ventures quote:
TekSavvy Solutions Inc. will have one less member of the Gaudrault family running the local business.
Rocky Gaudrault, who founded the Internet service provider company with his brother Marc in 1998, has left the business after taking a one-year sabbatical to pursue new opportunities in the mortgage and insurance business.
Rocky Gaudrault told The Chatham Daily News he has done a lot of soul searching and came to the realization that, “as much as I loved everyone at Teksavvy and the Internet access world, what had become of the business, an my role within, was too far a departure from being able to do what I loved most . . . deal in relationships and people.”
He said it is with mixed emotions that he's decided to step way from the company.
Marc Gaudrault, who is taking over as CEO and owner of TekSavvy, after a year of being acting CEO, said, in a written release: “Rocky's contributions have been immeasurable.
“I will do my best to carry on the torch with the same pride, dedication and passion that Rocky did.”
The Daily News will be updating this story.

| Seems to me Rocky preferred it when TekSavvy was a smaller "mom & pop" operation, where he was able to be hands on with many things, create a presence here on DSLR with open and no bullshit attitude unseen before.
I wish you all the best Rocky. Hope you stop by here once in a while and say hi and what you've been up to. |

Best wishes for all your future endeavours, and thanks *especially* for taking the time to participate on this forum and all the other acts of engagement with your customers. It was unique, and will be badly missed. |

Re: Rocky Gaudrault leaves TekSavvy for new ventures I may no longer be a teksavvy subscriber but I really liked Rocky's dedication to the Teksavvy community and how he use to stick it to bell when they got out of line.
Rocky you will be missed you were a great CEO and an inspiration to us all, May you have good on your future endeavors.
edit: I also use to think it was really awesome how you use to post in response to try to help customer's even if they were blatant trolls. You still got in there and did your best to keep everyone happy.
You were a fantastic CEO Rocky, I aspire to be half the man you are.

Insurance company eh? So I guess the next step is to put on the pinstripe 3 piece suits. |

Good luck, Rocky. Thanks for providing us with an affordable and top notch service. I'm surprised that someone who's passionate about battling big business and providing a great service is entering the mortgage and insurance business, but I hope you find what you're looking for. |
