In this special edition of the Treasury Career Corner podcast we are delving back into our archives to revisit and revamp some of our most acclaimed episodes - just for you.

Today, we bring you a remastered gem, originally our 100th episode, featuring an insightful interview with Gary McGuire, VP and Treasurer at Dow Inc.

With a global team of over 200 treasury professionals, Gary oversees all aspects of Dow's finances.

He began his journey at Dow Canada in 1988 as a Materials Management Analyst, later transitioning to the Treasury group. After a brief period at Royal Bank of Canada as a Senior Corporate Risk Consultant, he returned to Dow in various senior financial roles before assuming leadership positions as Senior Director of Financial Planning and Operations and Global Director of Enterprise-Wide Risk Management.

In 2007, he took on the role of Chief Investment Officer, overseeing the management of the company's global Pension and Insurance assets. Gary’s contributions led to his appointment as Assistant Treasurer in 2016 and subsequently as Treasurer.

Gary is actively involved in Dow's Disability Employee Network (DEN) and the President and CEO of Liana Limited and Dorinco Reinsurance Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow), in addition to serving on the boards of both companies.
