The financial services giant is focused on beefing up its digital platforms, even as advisors struggle to get online

The international banking leader has announced they are bringing in a new strategic advisor to the CEO for Global Digital Banking. Ignacio Deschamps has worked in the banking industry for over 30 years and is said to be a ‘digital banking innovator.’ Scotianbank has brought in Deschamps to help pull them further into the digital world and accelerate their progress.
 
Starting from January 4, Deschamps will be working with leaders within the institution and partnering with technology heads to accelerate Scotiabank's digital transformation. This includes reimagining and simplifying the customer experience as well as digitizing the bank's many systems and processes.
 
"His leadership in navigating and leveraging digital banking trends, and his deep banking expertise in key international markets, will provide tremendous benefit to Scotiabank," said Brian Porter, president and chief executive officer of Scotiabank.
