Anya Schnoor continued “We are thrilled to welcome Gayle back to Trinidad and Tobago. Gayle joined Scotiabank Trinidad & Tobago in 1996 and has since held progressively senior leadership roles within the Bank. She was appointed Head of Corporate and Commercial Banking in 2011 and successfully led her team to deepen commercial relationships and grow market share. In 2015 Gayle moved on to lead Risk Management and was promoted to the role of Vice President and Chief Risk Officer, Caribbean South & East where she fostered a high-performance risk culture, strengthening financial and non-financial risk oversight across the region. Eighteen (18) months ago, as part of her development, Gayle was seconded to a position within Western Canada, leading a large Retail Distribution team. Over this time, Gayle broadened her retail banking experience.
Gayle is a seasoned banking executive with diverse financial management experience and has a proven track record. We are proud to have her back with us in the Caribbean and Trinidad and Tobago.”
