“I've always been a creatively minded person with a focus on communication and relationships. As part of CIBC's Enterprise Innovation team, I get to make the most of my creative skills. My role is to help tell the bank's innovation story around technology.

Over the last six years, I’ve watched how technology has evolved our business. We've introduced remote work and scaled the Future Now program, which provides deeper learning opportunities for employees interested in emerging technologies. Today, our team's role is to make CIBC a leading innovative bank. We provide strategic points of view to ensure we're looking at the right technologies at the right time.

I've had amazing leaders along the way, who have encouraged me to push boundaries. I've also learned that innovation isn't just about doing

something new. It's about finding the right people to power the new tech to make an impact.”
