Elected as the new chair, president and CEO of Desjardins Group last March, Guy Cormier has ambitious plans for North America’s largest financial co-operative. Desjardins wants to expand beyond its Quebec base and hopes to achieve that aim through an acquisition program targeting wealth managers and payments firms. Outlining the strategy recently to Bloomberg, Cormier revealed that all options were on the table in terms of partnerships. “We’re open for business, open to increase our revenues and focus on these three targets,” he said. “We’ll be really open to any kind of transaction and acquisition, especially in property & casualty insurance.”
