Jocelyne Bourgon of iA Financial Group is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
iA Financial Group
In appointing Jocelyne Bourgon as the new chair of its board of directors, iA Financial chose someone with pristine credentials. The first woman ever to serve as clerk of the Privy Council, Bourgon’s work with the public service over decades resulted in her being named an officer of the Order of Canada. Her influence has been felt on the international stage, too – from 2003 to 2007, Bourgon was ambassador to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD]. A member of the Industrial Alliance board of directors since 2014 and its vice-chair since May 2016, Bourgon was the natural choice to succeed outgoing chair John LeBoutillier when he retired in May.
