Each year since 2003, the Women's Executive Network (WXN) recognizes 100 Canadian women who are top of their field, advocates and champions for others, community leaders, trailblazers and an inspiration to others.
"Over a history spanning more than 150 years, one thing hasn't changed at RBC: our strength is, and always will be, our people," said Dave McKay, President & CEO, RBC. "That strength is reflected in these four inspiring RBC leaders, whose bold ambition and strategic vision is helping to reshape so many parts of our organization for the better. Congratulations to Natalie, Erica, Carmela and Caroline on the well-deserved, national recognition."
