Canada Taps Global Business Veterans to Lead Invest in Canada Amid Ambitious Investment Drive

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced two key appointments to Invest in Canada's leadership team. Dominic Barton will take on the role of Chair of the Board of Directors, while Gurinder Grewal will become the Chief Executive Officer.

Barton brings extensive experience in global business and investment, having spent over 30 years at McKinsey & Company, including nine years as Global Managing Partner. He previously chaired Canada's Advisory Council on Economic Growth and served as Ambassador to China from 2019 to 2021.

Grewal has a background in putting capital to work in the energy, industrials, infrastructure, and technology sectors. He is the Founder and Managing Partner of MEM Growth Partners and previously spent over a decade at Advent International.

The appointments come as Canada's new government focuses on building a stronger, more resilient economy that is not reliant on any single trading partner. Invest in Canada will play a key role in this mission, guiding investors from initial interest to actual shovels in the ground.
