BMO
BMO's Erminia "Ernie" Johannson said leadership requires courage, perseverance and resilience.
She led the successful integration of one of the largest U.S. banking acquisitions last year with the acquisition of Bank of the West. The deal catapulted the $1.3 trillion-asset BMO into the ranks of the top 10 banks in the U.S. by assets.
