Jason Nardari
Managing Director, Portfolio Management & Strategy
Jason has been a valued member of CIBC since 2018, joining the organization as Executive Director and Head of Underwriting following CIBC’s acquisition of Wellington Financial, which became the foundation of the CIBC Innovation Banking group. Prior to CIBC, Jason spent more than a decade at Wellington, a private debt fund, where he progressed through increasingly senior roles after starting as an Associate in 2005 and ultimately serving as a Vice-President. He was among Wellington’s first four full-time employees, having supported the fund since 2003 as a contractor conducting due diligence.
Jason began his career as an Analyst at Yorkton Securities (subsequently Orion Securities), an independent Canadian investment bank focused on technology, where he first met and worked with the founding members of the Wellington team.
