RBC appoints KatherineGibson InterimChiefFinancialOfficer following the departure of NadineAhn
TORONTO, April 5, 2024 /CNW/ - Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY) and (NYSE:RY) today announced the appointment of KatherineGibson as Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO). She succeeds NadineAhn whose employment was terminated by RBC earlier today, effective immediately.
RBC was recently made aware of allegations involving Ms. Ahn and immediately launched an internal review and engaged outside legal counsel to investigate. The investigation found evidence that, in contravention of the RBC Code of Conduct, Ms. Ahn was in an undisclosed close personal relationship with another employee which led to preferential treatment of the employee including promotion and compensation increases. As a result, the two individuals have had their employment terminated.
The investigation found no evidence of conduct by the former CFO or the other employee with respect to the bank's previously issued financial statements, RBC's strategy or its financial or business performance.
Ms. Gibson has been appointed interim CFO while a search is conducted. She is a respected and experienced leader who has been with the bank for 22 years, most recently as SVP, Finance & Controller, and is widely considered a trusted advisor with a strong analytical and governance mindset.
In her new role, Ms. Gibson will bring a wide range of experience leading global teams and major strategic enterprise initiatives, including a deep understanding of business drivers and growth opportunities across several different areas of the bank.
