She has over 24 years’ experience in the financial services and regulatory environment, having also served as a member of the federal Financial Institutions Supervisory Committee, as an ex-officio board member of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, as a board member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and as chair of the International Financial Consumer Organisation, an international organization of supervisory authorities responsible for financial consumer protection.
