VersaBank names Lawrence Chamberlain global investor relations chief
VersaBank said investor relations veteran Lawrence Chamberlain will take over as Global Senior Vice President, Investor and Stakeholder Relations, effective immediately.
VersaBank said Tuesday it has appointed Lawrence Chamberlain as Global Senior Vice President, Investor and Stakeholder Relations, effective immediately.
The North American digital bank and cybersecurity technology company said the role will give it a full-time executive focused on investors and other stakeholders as it seeks to broaden its base and pursue new growth areas.
David Taylor, VersaBank founder and president, said Chamberlain had worked with the bank on a consulting basis for six years and had helped improve how the company explains its investment case to the market. Taylor said Chamberlain’s ties with analysts, investors, the board and senior management made him a fit for the role as the company expects rapid growth from its U.S. business and sees an opportunity in digital assets.
VersaBank said Chamberlain has more than 30 years of capital markets experience, mostly in investor relations and capital markets communications. The company said his background includes work at LodeRock Advisors, senior roles at Canadian investor-relations consulting firms and in-house investor relations posts at a TSX-listed information technology company and emerging technology firms.
Chamberlain said he had worked closely with Taylor and the VersaBank team for six years and called it an exciting time to join the bank. He said the company has low-risk growth opportunities and referred to a proposed reorganization that he said has numerous benefits.
VersaBank continues to position itself as a business-to-business digital bank with operations in Canada and the U.S. The company said its common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq under the symbol VBNK. It also said it launched its Structured Receivable Program in the U.S. market in August 2024 and owns Minnesota-based DRT Cyber Inc., which it describes as a cybersecurity services company.
VersaBank said its digital assets technology includes Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™. The company also included standard forward-looking statement language in the release, citing market and regulatory risks.
