Stéphan Bourbonnais to succeed Kelleway at iA Private Wealth

Stéphan Bourbonnais will become president of iA Private Wealth on February 24, succeeding John Kelleway.

In early February, Kelleway stepped down from his role as president of iA Private Wealth to pursue other interests. Kelleway held the position of senior vice-president, national sales, for iA Securities prior to being named president in 2018.

Last week, Bourbonnais left his role as senior vice-president and region head, Eastern Canada with TD Private Wealth Management — a position he held since March 2013.

“I am very excited and enthusiastic for the opportunity to work in collaboration with a fully independent company supported by the strength and stability of a financial institution that is among the oldest and most respected in the country,” Bourbonnais said in an interview with Finance et Investissement, sister publication to Advisor’s Edge.

Bourbonnais worked at National Bank for nearly 13 years prior to his tenure at TD.

In January, iA Wealth announced the merger of its iA Securities and HollisWealth platforms under the new iA Private Wealth name.
