As Finning’s CFO since 2020, Palaschuk overlapped in the firm’s executive suite with Scott Thomson, now Scotiabank’s chief executive officer. Thomson was CEO of Finning — a Vancouver-based company that sells, finances and services Caterpillar Inc. equipment — for almost a decade before joining Scotiabank as president in late 2022, in preparation for becoming CEO in early 2023. Thomson had been on Scotiabank’s board since 2016, but the hiring of a banking outsider was still seen as a surprising move at the time.
