Edmonton-based Canadian Western Bank – the largest publicly traded Canadian bank headquartered in Western Canada – has appointed Chris Fowler as its president and CEO. The appointment had been widely anticipated for some time. Shareholders confirmed the appointment at the bank’s annual general meeting this past March. Fowler joined Canadian Western Bank in 1991 and progressed through several senior leadership positions. Most recently, he had been the bank’s president and chief operating officer.
