Rick Waugh (MBA ’74, Hon LLD ’07), Former Deputy Chairman, President and CEO, Scotiabank

A Schulich graduate, Rick Waugh started his career as a young branch teller in his hometown of Winnipeg and rose to the top of one of the world’s most international banks. During his tenure as CEO, Scotiabank successfully navigated the worst recession since the Great Depression. Having occupied a front row seat while the world economy stared into the abyss, Rick will speak about how Canadian banks survived the 2008 financial crisis, did not require a government bailout, and how the global banking sector can prevent future financial crises from occurring. The dialogue session also provides a rare opportunity for Schulich faculty, students and alumni to engage with one of Canada’s most accomplished business leaders.
