Porter said: "I want to congratulate Rick Waugh on his exceptional 43-year career at Scotiabank and thank him for his leadership as CEO over the last 10 years. I look forward to continuing the evolution of this strong organization. It is an honour and a privilege to lead Scotiabank. As we start a new fiscal year, Scotiabankers around the world will redouble our efforts to make it easy and compelling for our customers to do business with us and to continue to deliver the strong, consistent and predictable results."
Mr. Porter first joined Scotiabank in 1981, and has progressed through a series of increasingly senior positions across the Bank, including executive roles with Global Banking & Markets, Global Risk Management, Group Treasury and International Banking.
