Nandita Bakhshi

Special Advisor and Board Member

BMO Financial Group

After seven years of leading Bank of the West, Nandita Bakhshi took on a new role this year.

She is now special advisor to BMO Financial Group, the Montreal-based bank that bought Bank of the West from its former parent, Paris-based BNP Paribas, in February. The merger dramatically expanded BMO's footprint in the U.S. The bank now has more than 1,000 branches in 32 states.
