The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that JPMorgan has poached the head of Bank of Nova Scotia's innovation banking unit to head its effort to expand banking services to Canadian technology companies.
The Globe's Sean Silcoff writes that David Rozin will join JPMorgan this month in Toronto as head of its Canadian innovation economy unit after serving for nearly seven years as vice-president and head of technology and innovation banking at Scotiabank.
He was previously associate vice-president of technology with National Bank of Canada for a year and a half. Before that spent a decade with RBC, including two years as national director, overseeing client growth strategies across retail and consumer services, technology, media and entertainment and health care. His hiring comes three years after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank reordered the domestic sector.
Mr. Rozin's "deep expertise and understanding of start-ups and venture capital, and long-standing relationships across Canada's innovation corridors, makes him well-positioned to help founders and investors scale with confidence," said JPM Canada chief David Rawlings.
JPMorgan confirmed its planned expansion in Canadian tech banking last fall.
