“What bothered us the most was that out of 521 seats that were vacated in boards on the TSX, only 15% of those were fi lled by women”
for startups operating in the new digital investment world. Does all this leave any time for a personal life? Hobbies? Not really hobbies per se, Jensen says with a laugh. But she
does find time for family. She has been married to Torben Jensen, a mining engineer, for 37 years, and they have two grown sons. She reads, especially books about science, business and technology. She likes to golf and ski and dine with friends. Rosemary Chan, senior vice-president of compliance, Cana-
dian banking and global wealth management at Scotiabank, became Jensen’s friend while working with her at IIROC. “It is not an easy job to be in,” she says of Jensen’s current position, which involves balancing the public good with indus- try’s need to raise capital and make money. “It’s also a balance
to regulate industry in a way that allows market participants of all sizes to fl ourish in capital markets. If you have regulations that favour one business model over another, that’s not a good thing because you are interfering with competitiveness.” But she believes Jensen will succeed in finding those bal-
ances. “She’s very practical and very fair, and she’s got determi- nation,” Chan says. “And she is known in the industry for being fair.
“When there’s regulatory intervention, it needs to actually
work,” she says. “You don’t want unintended consequences in capital markets.”
