ATB Financial’s board of directors has announced Chris Turchansky as the financial institutions next president and CEO.
“We are excited to introduce Chris Turchansky as our next president and CEO,” said Joan Hertz, ATB Financial board chair. “His vision and commitment to Alberta, combined with his proven track record of enabling growth within our most complex business areas, make him the right choice to bring even greater success to ATB moving forward.”
Turchansky is currently the group head of ATB business and wealth. The company says he’s led the organization’s largest revenue-generating lines of business.
“I am incredibly honoured to be selected for this role and for the opportunity to lead an organization that has been defined by such a strong purpose for more than 87 years,” said Turchansky.
“I look forward to working alongside all of our dedicated teams as we continue to deliver the expertise and solutions our clients need to meet their financial goals.”
Turchansky grew up in rural Alberta and has spent all of his nearly 30-year financial services career working across the province. He’s held other leadership roles, which include chief experience officer and president of ATB Wealth.
Outgoing president and CEO, Curtis Stange, informed the board of his retirement decision earlier this year.
