EDMONTON, AB, Dec. 10, 2020 /CNW/ - CWB Financial Group (TSX: CWB) (CWB) announces leadership appointments.

Carolyn Graham, FCPA, FCA, has been appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer responsible to oversee enterprise-wide risk management, which includes credit risk, market risk and operational risk, as well as the parallel run for our Advanced Internal Rating Based approach (AIRB) formal application. Carolyn joined CWB 20 years ago and has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since 2014.

R. Matthew Rudd, CPA, CA, has been appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and joins the Executive Committee.  His responsibilities include oversight of financial and capital supply management, as well as treasury, strategy, corporate development, investor relations and sustainability. Matt previously served as CWB's Senior Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations, and Chief Accountant. Matt joined CWB in 2018 from Liquor Stores N.A. Ltd.
