Rosin Executive Search Assists TMX Group in the Recruitment of New CFO
June 16, 2021 – Rosin Executive Search recently assisted TMX Group in Toronto in the recruitment of financial services industry David Arnold as its new CFO. “We are excited to add a dynamic and experienced financial professional with an impressive track record of execution to TMX Group’s senior leadership team, as we work to advance our global growth strategy and support client success across the markets we serve,” said John McKenzie, CEO of TMX Group. “Along with a demonstrated expertise in leading complex, large-scale business initiatives, David brings an innovative mindset and a collaborative spirit to the role, which fits squarely with TMX Group’s corporate mission, client first vision and employee culture. I look forward to the important work ahead with David and our entire TMX employee team to solve challenges and capitalize on opportunities in our operating environment.”
Jeff Rosin, CEO of Rosin Executive Search, said: “What made David stand out is the fact that having come from a major bank where he spent the majority of his career in a number of different finance roles, he was exposed to different business units within financial services and was able to capture the learnings of each in a way where he presents as a credible financial executive who is strategic, action oriented, a good listener, impactful and a collaborative leader. Furthermore, his being referred to us by a number of different people further reinforced his candidacy in this role.”
Mr. Arnold joins TMX Group from CIBC, where he most recently served as executive vice president, enterprise programs, technology, and operations. In this role, he led transformation and simplification efforts across the CIBC Group of Companies, including client relationship management, payments modernization, enterprise programs and delivery excellence.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join TMX Group as the organization pursues opportunities to accelerate its ongoing evolution at the center of Canada’s capital markets and increase its global presence,” said Mr. Arnold. “I look forward to working together with the accomplished finance team and talented professionals across the enterprise to help build on its considerable strengths and chart the course for sustained success into the future.”
