ABOUT SAMIR AHMED
Emerging leader and trusted treasury advisor, I continue my leadership journey with 14+ years of diverse experience gained in Canada and Belgium within financial technology (fintech) and financial services. In my current leadership position with CGI, I positively influence, support and motivate a high performing team composed of senior consultants to meet our operational and strategic goals. I challenge the status quo and demonstrate success in building and managing executive relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including corporate banks and financial institutions established in North America. I also provide and receive continuous feedback to resolve conflicts, support timely deliverables and increase the satisfaction levels of team members and clients. Prior to joining CGI, I worked for Thomson Reuters/Refinitiv in several sales roles covering FX & Fixed Income. During these years, I built strong relationships with clients, helped uncover leads and was pivotal in major sales across the Big Five Canadian Banks and Montreal-based Banks. With a consultative sales mindset, the impact on growth has been immediately felt. I am a Thomson Reuters Q4 2016 Star Award winner and my expertise in enterprise solutions (Data & Analytics) is respected across Canada. Following my Master of Science in Management from the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium) achieved with Distinction, I worked at various dealing, trading and back office roles at Western Union Business Solutions, ING Bank, Euroclear Bank and Deutsche Bank.
