ABOUT LAUREN FRIESE

I’m currently SVP, HR for Canadian Banking at Scotiabank (Retail and Commercial banking, and Tangerine). Previously, I led HR for Technology & Digital at Scotia and held a series of enterprise HR roles at RBC, including building Centres of Expertise focused on workforce strategy, culture, and organizational effectiveness. Earlier in my career, I co-founded TalentEgg and scaled it into a leading Canadian career platform, and began my career in consulting focused on technology and financial services. Across roles, I’ve been drawn to complex environments and high-stakes change — simplifying operating models, strengthening leadership teams, and building the conditions for sustained delivery and value creation.
