Carney names Dominic Barton as chair of Invest in Canada, replaces CEO
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a leadership overhaul at Invest in Canada, appointing private equity executive Gurinder Grewal as CEO and former diplomat Dominic Barton as board chair.
- The federal body assumes a "new, more ambitious" role, with Ottawa targeting $500-billion in private-sector capital and $1-trillion of total investment in Canada over five years.
- Grewal, founder of MEM Growth Partners, replaces outgoing CEO Laurel Broten, while Barton, a former McKinsey managing partner and ambassador to China, assumes the board chair role.
- These changes arrive two weeks before Carney's inaugural investment summit in Toronto, where he will assemble foreign investors and domestic fund heads to pitch Canadian projects.
- Minister Dominic LeBlanc accepted the resignation of Broten, who was appointed under the previous Liberal government, as the agency transitions to its new leadership structure starting Sept. 1.
