Schnoor heads Scotia South and East Caribbean

Jun 06, 2016

Anya M Schnoor, senior vice president and managing director of Scotiabank T&T Ltd, has assumed an expanded role in the Caribbean. In addition to her current role, she will assume oversight of Scotiabank’s South and East Caribbean operations, providing oversight to the country heads of Guyana, Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean and Curacao. 

This change will accelerate decision making in the region and follows recent changes and realignment of the executive functions in Canada and the restructure of the Caribbean into geographic zones—North, South, East and Central districts.

The Scotiabank group has over the years continued to refine its operations to ensure efficiency and best in class service throughout its banking operations in the Caribbean. The bank has been able to realise these efficiencies through regional centres of excellence in order to remain competitive and sustainable. An example of this strategy is clearly demonstrated in the bank’s Shared Services operations here in T&T which provides back-office support to 15 countries throughout the region. 

This does not change the governance or reporting structure of the local bank.

“I am thoroughly excited at my expanded role and look forward to working with the wider Caribbean Region as we continue to look for opportunities to make our customers better off” said Schnoor, who has more than 24 years’ experience in investments and banking. 

Prior to joining Scotiabank in May 2006, as executive vice president, Wealth Management & Insurance, she has held various senior positions including general manager for Eagle Unit Trust and senior vice president and chief operating officer at Pan Caribbean Financial Services.

Schnoor was appointed managing director of Scotiabank T&T Ltd on November 1, 2012 and was appointed to the board on May 31, 2012.

She holds a Master of Business Administration from Barry University and a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and International Business from Florida International University.

Schnoor serves as a director of all of the bank’s subsidiary companies—ScotiaLife T&T Ltd (chairperson), Scotia Investments T&T Ltd (chairperson) and Scotia SKN Ltd. She is also a director of the Scotiabank T&T Foundation, Maduro & Curiels’s Bank, Scotiabank Caribbean Holdings Ltd, United Way T&T and vice president of the Bankers’ Association of T&T.
