Craig helps organizations improve both their employee and customer satisfaction while enabling programs that drive profitable revenue growth.

During his career, Craig has:

  • Managed teams responsible for one of North America’s largest retail bank merger and acquisition deals across Canada and the United States, allowing the bank to acquire customers at scale and choice across channels while delivering significant productivity and cost savings across the combined entity and to its shareholders.
