Harrison is a former president and chief executive at John Hancock as well as a former president and chief executive of Manulife Canada.
CIBC board chair Kate Stevenson says Harrison's perspective and leadership will strengthen the bank's commitment to strong governance and her strategic insight will be instrumental in advancing the bank's client-focused strategy.
