Just For Laughs production company promotes COO Bruce Hills to president
MONTREAL — Just For Laughs Group has appointed a familiar face to oversee operations going forward, tapping a longtime executive as president on Monday.
Bruce Hills, who had served as chief operating officer for the Montreal-based company for the past 19 years, enters the new job immediately.
Hills, a 32-year veteran of the festival, was instrumental in establishing and growing Just For Laughs Montreal, known as Juste pour rire in French.
“I just feel like the timing is just right for all the great things we want to do,” Hills said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
