Margaret Corio

“It all starts with a great education,” says Margaret Corio, who graduated from the University of Windsor with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1990.

Classes taught by business leaders provided her with practical knowledge and networking that helped in her current career.

"I chose to take courses at night because they were often taught by business professionals,” says Corio.

“It was exciting to learn not only the textbook theory but also from their practical experience. That is really the key to success. If you are passionate about what you do and you make a difference in your own community, it really stands out."

Royal Bank (RBC) hired Corio immediately after graduation. Two decades later, as RBC’s regional vice president for the Windsor and Essex area, she still finds time to give back to the community.

Corio serves on the board of Transition to Betterness, with which she has been involved for seven years, and also volunteers with Leadership Windsor/Essex Marketing Committee and Windsor Hospice.

“It’s really important to give back to the community,” she says, pointing to the Windsor-Essex County’s reputation for generosity.

“Even during the recession, donations were up. Whatever you commit to, give wholeheartedly and really leave your mind open to different opportunities.”
