Former Canadian Pacific Railway Limited executive and board member William R. (Bill) Fatt has died. Fatt joined the CP board in September 2016.

Earlier in his career, he served as CP’s CFO before taking the helm of Canadian Pacific Hotels and eventually moving the company’s properties to the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts banner. “Bill Fatt was a consummate business leader, with the background, financial knowledge and overall gravitas to take on big challenges and turn them into successes,” said Keith Creel, CP president and CEO. “He was not afraid to take risks and learn from his successes and mistakes. Bill’s advice and counsel were invaluable to so many and he will be sincerely missed.”
