Mexico City, Mexico
I lead International Commercial Banking at Scotiabank, focused on scaling growth across the Americas and strengthening Canada’s global economic connectivity. I’ve led large-scale transformations to reposition commercial banking toward primary client relationships, accelerate mid-market growth, and deliver more connected, day-to-day banking for businesses operating across borders — driving sustained growth and improved performance across key markets. My work sits at the intersection of commercial banking, international trade, and financial infrastructure. I focus on strengthening trade and banking corridors, improving how businesses move money and manage working capital, and advancing modern, digitally enabled banking platforms. A core part of this is supporting Canadian businesses expanding internationally and facilitating capital and investment flows into Canada. Through my role on the Board of Payments Canada, I contribute to advancing financial infrastructure and strengthening the long-term competitiveness of Canada’s financial system. Previously, I led Global Transaction Banking product at Scotiabank and held Managing Director roles at JPMorgan across payments, treasury services, and global platforms.
