My Background

After earning a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Guelph, Paul Cooper began his career as a consultant with a leading international business consulting service. He then joined the financial services industry with BMO Financial Group in 2001.

As Director, Wealth Solutions, Paul builds bridges across BMO Private Wealth to help affluent and ultra-affluent clients to access world-class investment management, wealth planning, commercial banking, and tailored private banking — all under one roof, coordinated through one central relationship.

Paul has held previous roles at BMO Financial Group as Senior Finance Manager of the BMO Learning Institute, Senior Manager Office of Strategic Management, Director Corporate Finance, Senior Business Specialist at BMO Commercial Bank, Division Manager of Credit, and Regional Director of Banking.

Paul has completed numerous courses within BMO to hone his professional skills and industry knowledge and makes a point of giving back to the community as much as possible. He volunteers monthly at the Fort York Food Bank in Toronto’s west end making meals and he and his family also hold an annual food drive to collect food donations. Paul is also a strong supporter of BMO campaigns for the United Way and Kids Help Phone and of a Kenyan environmental stewardship charity. A native of the Greater Toronto Area, Paul and his wife have two sons. He and his family enjoy travelling and spending time at their cottage by the lake with family and friends.
