Joe Oliver

Chairman
Echelon Wealth Partners

The former finance minister under Stephen Harper, Joe Oliver is now working to expand Echelon Wealth Partners into one of the leading independent firms in Canada. Echelon was founded in 2010, and Oliver took over as chairman in 2017. In addition to his government roles, Oliver also served as the founding president and CEO of the MFDA, is a past president and CEO of the Investment Dealers Association, and served as executive director of the Ontario Securities Commission. With that background, there’s no doubt that Oliver has been an instrumental part of Echelon’s success. The firm now boasts 60 advisory teams across the country, and over the course of 2018, its AUM grew from $4 billion to $5 billion.
