On Jan. 24, 2023, Fiera Capital  announced firm-level changes. Jean-Guy Desjardins, in addition to his current role as the firm’s Executive Chairman, is returning to his previous role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately. Jean-Guy succeeds Jean-Philippe Lemay, who’s leaving the firm as a result of the transition. 

Jean-Guy will be leading the Executive Committee comprised of members of different functional groups within the organization. The Executive Committee will focus on facilitating the firm’s stronger future growth. 

The IMR team will continue to monitor the Fiera Capital mandates impacted by this transition.
