Finance et Investissement (
FI), the jury for the
Top des leaders de l’industrie financière formerly known as the Top 25 ranking has chosen two Financial Personalities of the Year.
Those winners, announced at a digital ceremony held Thursday, are Jean-François Chalifoux, president and CEO of Beneva, the insurance mutual resulting from the merger of SSQ Assurance and La Capitale; and Jean St-Gelais, chair of the board with Beneva.
The jury praised the vision, openness, daring and will of these two leaders, who created the largest mutual insurance company in Canada on July 2, 2020.
“We salute this important achievement,” the jury members stated. “The new entity, which will keep its head office in Quebec, will be able to compete with other large pan-Canadian groups. They achieved this merger while continuing to have excellent results.”
