Darryl White of BMO is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
BMO
This is a milestone year for BMO – its 200th anniversary – and one where the levers of power will change. Darryl White will replace Bill Downe as CEO of the bank on November 1, having been installed as COO last year. White has been with BMO for the past 23 years, building his reputation as an investment banker before becoming head of BMO Capital Markets in 2014. His success in that role earmarked him for greater things; as COO, he oversaw personal and commercial banking, wealth management and marketing for the bank. Now he assumes the massive responsibility of the top job as BMO repositions its banking business for the digital age.
