Scotiabank recently announced the appointment of Kevin J. Teslyk, as Senior Vice-President, Automotive Finance. Teslyk succeeds Ron Porter who recently retired from Scotiabank. In his new role, Teslyk will be responsible for leading the overall strategic direction of the Bank’s Automotive Finance operations, including both the Prime Indirect Retail Lending and Commercial Automotive Finance businesses, and the Non-Prime Indirect Retail Lending Automotive business at Scotia Dealer Advantage.
Teslyk joined Scotiabank in 1992 and has held progressively senior leadership roles in personal and commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, wealth management, finance and global risk management, both within Canada and Internationally.
Most recently, Teslyk served as Managing Director and Country Head for Scotiabank (Bahamas) Limited. In November 2013, he returned to Canada to begin transitioning into his new role. Teslyk’s breadth of experience and success in leading several retail and commercial client-based businesses in markets both in Canada and Internationally, is seen as a significant asset in helping elevate Scotiabank’s reputation as a valued leader in the automotive finance business and a valued business partner of both OEMs and Canadian dealerships.
