The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Oct. 13, edition that Laurentian Bank announced a series of changes to its senior executive ranks following a shakeup that saw the appointment of Eric Provost as president and chief executive officer earlier this month. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the bank says Sebastien Belair will expand his mandate by becoming chief operating officer, which now includes oversight of product and digital development. Mr. Belair has served as chief human resources officer since 2021 and was appointed the chief administration officer in September. Laurentian also announced that Thierry Langevin will join its executive committee as executive vice-president, commercial banking, in addition to his current role as president, LBC Capital, the bank's equipment financing division. Sophie Boucher has been promoted to senior vice-president, head of personal banking and small-medium enterprises. She was vice-president, commercial and syndication, within the commercial banking unit. Mr. Provost was named to the top job on Oct. 2, in a change that saw the resignation of board chairman Michael Mueller.
