Christine Bergeron named Vancity CEO

After holding the top job on an interim basis since July, Christine Bergeron will take over as president and CEO of Vancity on a permanent basis, the financial co-operative said Monday.

“Having led the credit union successfully through one of the most challenging times in global history while delivering a renewed business plan, Christine has already proven she is the right leader with the vision and strategy to lead Vancity into the future,” said Jan O’Brien, chair of Vancity’s board of directors, in a statement.

Bergeron has held several senior roles since joining the co-op in 2011. Before moving into the interim CEO role last summer, she oversaw Vancity’s branch network as well as its retail, business, commercial and wealth management operations.
