Equifax announced today that its Canadian business is now under the
direction of Carrie Russell. Russell takes on the role of President
and General Manager of Equifax Canada, following former President
Lisa Nelson’s move to manage Equifax Australia.
Previously, Russell was a senior executive at Canadian and
global financial institutions and technology companies. At TD, she
led some of the largest business lines including Everyday Banking,
Payments and Savings, and the Merchant Services and Correspondent
Brokerage businesses. She was the executive sponsor on significant

systems transformation and the introduction of chip payments to the
Canadian marketplace.
Additionally, Russell served as the chair of the Operations
Board of the Canadian Bankers Association and on the board of

institutions and other enterprises for the purpose of exchanging
electronic financial transactions. As CMO at D+H (now Finastra),
Russell led the reposition of the company as one of Canada’s
largest Fintech players and the strategic assessment of several
mergers and acquisitions, globally. Most recently, she has been
advising and consulting both incumbent banks and new Fintech
players on partnering for growth.
