As Senior Executive Vice President, Technology and Organizational Performance, Johanne Duhaime leads a team of 15,000 people working in operations development, security, IT, data and analytics, project delivery, and government, legal and regulatory affairs. Her commitment to delivering value-added transformation projects goes hand in hand with her drive to build dynamic, effective teams and optimize operations across Desjardins Group.

Johanne sits on the board of directors of Aviso Wealth, one of Canada’s largest independent wealth management firms. She holds an Executive MBA from the Université du Québec à Montréal and accreditation from the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD).

Her teams were honoured in recent years by Réseau Action TI for their innovation projects in digital transformation and were recognized for the promotion of the use of the French language in IT. In 2019, she was named the Chief Information Officer of the Year for the Public Sector by the Information Technology Association of Canada.

Johanne gives back to the community and has actively supported charitable causes for many years. Most recently, she served as honorary co-chair for Desjardins’ fundraising campaign in 2023 and 2024.
