Mark Mulroney Joins CIBC as Global Vice-Chair Ahead of CEO Transition
Big news is unfolding in Canadian banking. Mark Mulroney, a well-known investment banker and the son of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, is set to join CIBC as the bank’s global vice-chair in the office of the CEO. He will officially start on November 17, stepping into a role that will place him at the heart of the bank’s executive operations. This move comes as Harry Culham prepares to take over as CIBC’s CEO on November 1, following Victor Dodig’s 11-year tenure at the helm.
Mulroney’s career at Scotiabank has been impressive. Over the past seven years, he has held key leadership roles in the global banking and markets division, managing major client relationships and helping to connect different parts of the bank to better serve corporate borrowers. He has also led the financial sponsors unit, working closely with private equity firms and institutional investors. Before joining Scotiabank, he built experience on equity trading desks at National Bank Financial and RBC Dominion Securities and even worked as an associate at Goldman Sachs.

CIBC’s decision to bring Mulroney on board is part of a broader reshuffle of its senior leadership team. Recent appointments include Kevin Li as CEO of U.S. banking operations, Christian Exshaw taking over as head of capital markets, and Amy South being named chief of staff and executive vice-president in the office of the CEO. These moves show that CIBC is positioning itself for a period of strategic growth and transformation under Culham’s leadership.
At CIBC, Mulroney will work closely with Culham, South, and other top executives, including Roman Dubczak and Peter Lee. His network and experience are expected to help CIBC strengthen its advisory and investment banking services, particularly when it comes to mergers, capital raising, and serving corporate clients more comprehensively.
Mulroney’s appointment has drawn attention not only because of his professional credentials but also because of his family background and political connections. Beyond being the son of a former prime minister, he is also the brother of Caroline Mulroney, Ontario’s Treasury Board president, and Ben Mulroney, a well-known media personality. He has also previously helped federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre connect with Bay Street executives.
Overall, this move is seen as a strategic win for CIBC. By bringing in a banker with deep industry experience and a wide network, the bank is clearly signaling that it is preparing to make significant waves in both Canadian and global markets under its incoming CEO.
If you want, I can also make a slightly more casual, “storytelling” version that would feel even more like you’re talking to someone about the news. It could still stay within 300–500 words. Do you want me to do that?
