Who is Deepak Chopra?

Deepak Chopra is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada Post Corporation, known more simply as Canada Post, the Canadian crown corporation which functions as the country's primary postal operator. Chopra was appointed on January 18, 2011, for a five-year term effective February 1, 2011.

Most recently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pitney Bowes Canada and Latin America, Chopra was also the President of Pitney Bowes Asia Pacific and the Middle East, leading a number of postal administration projects of national mail organizations such as Australia Post, Royal Mail, State Post Bureau of China, The Emirates Post, India Post and Japan Post.

Chopra took over the post from Stewart Bacon, who returned from retirement as interim president and CEO in July 2010 when then-CEO Moya Greene left to take over Britain's national carrier, The Royal Mail. Greene, who became CEO in 2005, oversaw the investment of new equipment, training programs and efficiency at Canada Post, including a $2.1 billion investment in infrastructure, that is partly credited for profits during a period when revenues declined.
