As Gillian Riley retires, Scotiabank appoints Terri-Lee Weeks to guide Tangerine into its next phase
Scotiabank has announced the appointment of Terri-Lee Weeks as president and CEO of Tangerine, effective November 1.
Weeks joined the bank in September 2021 as executive vice president, Retail Customer, where she was responsible for driving client value and loyalty through the bank’s retail products and enhancing customer experience.
Her experience spans Retail Banking, Wealth Management, and Capital Markets, making her well-equipped for this role.
