Christena Copeland – March 28, 2024 – A large group of first-year Management students trudged enthusiastically through the rain Tuesday (March 26) to hear advice and insights from notable Dalhousie alum George Armoyan (BEng’83). 

Developer, investor, entrepreneur and mentor: George Armoyan has built not only multinational businesses, he has carried forward a family legacy that means even more to him

With a gain of 100 million from Cominar, businessman George Armoyan acquires 10% of Knight Therapeutics

After making a profit of nearly $100 million in less than two years with Cominar during the pandemic, Montreal businessman George Armoyan is turning his attention to another Quebec company.

This Syrian-born Armenian entrepreneur began buying Cominar shares shortly after the pandemic began. After buying ten million of them last week, he now owns more than 20 million, making him the largest holder of shares in the Quebec real estate trust, and the only one with a stake of more than 10%. At the current price, his total investment in Cominar, whose share took 9% on Monday, is already worth 170 million.

George Armoyan feels like he’s gone back to school every time he attends a Creative Destruction Lab session.
