John Roth (businessman)

John Andrew Roth is a Canadian retired business executive. He was the chief executive officer and chairman of Nortel Networks between 1997 and 2001.[1] While he was called "the most successful businessman in modern Canadian history" by Time magazine and named Canada's CEO of the Year by a Bay Street panel in the fall of 2000,[2] by the ignominious end of his career it became clear that his mismanagement destroyed the company.
