Ms. Greenwood is the CEO of the Canadian American Business Council, the premier bilateral trade association whose members are Fortune 500 companies as well as entrepreneurs and Indigenous Leaders.

She currently is a board member of The Foundation for Art & Preservation in Embassies, and The District Cup Foundation. Ms. Greenwood's previous corporate non-executive director roles include serving on the board of NASDAQ-listed company Tilray. She was also a board member of Ottawa-based Spartan Bioscience which developed an innovative COVID-19 test for Canadian federal and provincial government markets.

"I'm honored to join a global insurer and asset manager that drives significant economic opportunity across the many markets it operates within around the world," said Maryscott Greenwood.
