Prime Minister Mark Carney is overhauling leadership at Invest in Canada, naming Dominic Barton as the agency’s chair as part of a broader CEO and governance change. The announcement comes weeks before a high-profile summit that focuses on attracting foreign investment.
According to reporting, Barton is appointed to a three-year term on a part-time basis. Outgoing chair Karl Tabbakh steps down from the chair role but is expected to remain on Invest in Canada’s board to help manage the transition. Other details in the coverage indicate the changes are timed to support the agency’s work leading into the upcoming investment-focused summit.
