Ronald Alepian

Ronald Alepian (born July 17, 1970) is Vice President and Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications [1] for the TMX Group, which owns Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, Natural Gas Exchange (NGX), Montreal Exchange, Boston Options Exchange (BOX), among others.[1] In February 2011, TMX Group announced plans to merge with London Stock Exchange Group.

He is known as the founder of CYMA - Canadian Youth Mission to Armenia, which he did with the cooperation and support of the late Senator Jacques Hébert (Canadian politician) and the late Senator Shirley Maheu, both of whom sat on CYMA's honorary Board of Directors.[2] CYMA operated with the active guidance of Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, then Canadian head of the Armenian Church.

Prior to TMX, he was head of communications for Nortel [3][4] (he was also point man with the media during Nortel's bankruptcy proceedings) [5] and of Bell Canada where he was widely quoted in the media,[6][7] particularly during Bell's proposal to convert to an income trust in 2006.[8] At Bell, he reported to Bill Fox, former head of communications for Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
