Camilla's career spans more than two decades in capital markets, most recently as Scotiabank’s Global Head of Foreign Exchange, responsible for the firm’s FX trading desks, electronic trading and distribution, sales teams, and the global strategy. Prior to this role, she was Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist, providing global macro commentary and advisory services across the firm’s client base.

A message from our CEO
It is a privilege to have the opportunity to lead Women in Capital Markets (WCM) and drive the acceleration of gender diversity in the financial industry. Despite significant efforts over several decades we have not yielded the results we had hoped for. In corporate Canada today, only three percent of TSX-listed companies have a female CEO and only 14% of board seats are occupied by women. The risks of this reality are simply too great to be accepted and accordingly, our mission has never been more critical.
Together, with our members, sponsors, volunteers and stakeholders, we look forward to positive impacts on economic growth, a more robust talent pool, a decreasing gender pay gap and a more inclusive industry that is a leader globally well beyond its achievements on diversity.
This is a watershed moment and it is a time for a dramatic and purposeful shift in management styles, cultures and corporate transparency. I invite you to join us to support a commitment to a new approach, and I look forward to working with everyone to ensure gender parity for our future generations.

View LinkedIn ProfileLindsey has worked in the capital markets space for over a decade. She got her start in venture capital and has spent the majority of her career with CIBC Capital Markets Risk Management (CMRM) as a risk manager sitting on the trading floor. She mainly worked with the foreign exchange and global collateral finance businesses to ensure the associated risks were properly captured and remained within the risk appetite set out by the Board of Directors.
Lindsey is a passionate advocate for gender diversity, having led committees within the CMRM space and attended women’s advocacy events regularly. She is also a very active member in her community at Yonge and Eglinton in Toronto. Lindsey has successfully lobbied for a number of safety precautions around the Eglinton LRT construction beside Eglinton Junior Public school. Her lobbying drew attention from the CBC who helped to promote her struggle. Lindsey’s efforts to reduce overcrowding in the school have been documented in multiple local print articles and she has secured the help of Premier Wynne to review expanding the school property.

View LinkedIn ProfileOlga came to WCM in 2017 with an interest and passion in women's success and self-realization. Before coming to WCM she graduated from Centennial College's Graphic Design program with high honours where she was granted many awards for her work. She always aims to discover and learn new things; from this she found her passion and talent in arts and design after her first degree in computer programming.
Olga has a variety of work experience, starting from web-master freelancer to magazine layout designer and to self-employed event-manager, brand-designer and idea wizard - all in one person!
She strongly believes that it is the design that influences peoples' perception of everything they face and thus it can have a positive impact if done right and can send a strong message between the lines.
So with her high attention to detail, creativity and quality of work, she is responsible for all aspects of WCM's brand, feel and look.
She is happy to be a part of the WCM movement and help support women in capital markets through design.
