His successor is Sara Petrcich, who is now head of BMO GAM’s ETF and structured solutions team. She brings to her new role role more than 20 years of experience in derivatives, structured products trading and counterparty credit risk, the bank said. Petrcich joined BMO in 2021 but has been in the industry for more than 25 years.
