Government of Canada announces appointments to the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Board of Directors

The federal government has appointed two people to the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Board of Directors, replacing James Cherry and Christopher Hickman who were on the board since the bank’s inception in 2017.

Ms. Méthot is the founder and managing partner of Cycle Capital, a leading investment and innovation platform, as well as the founder and chairperson of Accelerator Cycle Momentum.

I’m pleased to welcome Andrée-Lise Méthot and Michael Bernstein, both of whom bring a depth of experience that will make them valuable contributors to the future of the CIB. At the same time, we say goodbye to two members of the inaugural CIB Board of Directors. James Cherry and Christopher Hickman provided their expertise and advice to management in helping to stand up the CIB and building this organization.
