PMI readies for Canadian push

As part of efforts to establish a presence in Canada, mortgage insurance firm PMI Canada has hired Janet Martin as managing director.

Martin moves from her position of chief executive officer of Toronto-based Dexit, an electronic payment company. She previously spent much of her career with CIBC.

"Janet Martin’s extensive leadership experience in Canadian financial services made her our top choice to head PMI Canada,” says Steve Smith, chief executive officer of PMI in Walnut Creek, California
