Following Tuesday’s board of directors meeting, Bank of Nova Scotia announced expanded responsibilities for two of the bank’s top three key senior executives.

Bob Chisholm, vice chairman, domestic banking, has been appointed vice chairman, Scotiabank, and president and CEO, domestic banking and wealth management.

David Wilson, vice chairman, Scotiabank, and chairman and CEO, Scotia Capital, will now be responsible for all of the group’s wholesale financial services in Canada, the United States and Europe, and the bank’s corporate, institutional and government relationships on a global basis.

The changes are part of Scotiabank’s ongoing succession plans and follows from the January 15 appointment of Rick Waugh as the bank’s president.

“Bob Chisholm will focus on continuing to bring together the tremendous strengths of wealth management and the domestic bank, maximizing cross-sell opportunities and ensuring we continue to deliver industry-leading client satisfaction,” said Scotiabank chairman and CEO, Peter Godsoe.

In addition to leading investment and corporate banking and global trading areas, Wilson will also provide leadership in growing Scotiabank’s wholesale customer base globally. “Recognizing the synergies that the continued globalization of the wholesale business offers, David will drive Scotia Capital’s growth and solidify the strong relationships we enjoy with our corporate clients in North America and internationally,” said Godsoe.
