Our Team

One of North America's pre-eminent private bankers, Christine Miller has established herself as a trusted authority in providing sophisticated financial solutions for elite sports professionals. She and her team focus on serving the complex wealth needs of professional athletes, coaches, agents, and sports industry executives. They also advise entrepreneurs, professionals and families.

With over two decades of banking expertise, Christine delivers white-glove service through her understanding of the unique challenges facing sports professionals, including revenue optimization and protection, cross-border tax efficiency and banking, endorsements and sponsorships, spending discipline, and career transition planning.

Her concierge-style approach encompasses strategic wealth preservation, custom lending and deposit solutions, international tax planning, complex transaction structuring, and estate planning. Christine is committed to 24/7 accessibility and navigates the most intricate financial scenarios. Her deep expertise in addressing the specific challenges of sports professionals – from fluctuating income streams to collective bargaining to prenuptial agreements – has earned her the trust of numerous high-profile clients.

Christine joined BMO Private Wealth in 2019 and assembles elite teams of specialists to deliver integrated wealth management solutions. She holds an honours diploma in Financial Planning and Accounting from Lakeland College, the Personal Financial Planner (PFP®) designation, and an Advanced Retirement Management Strategies Certificate from the Canadian Securities Institute. Christine actively supports several charitable organizations, notably the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARC) and the Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society (GEARS). She is also a dedicated advocate for financial literacy, having volunteered with the United Way Capital Region to support at-risk youth and newcomers to Canada.

Christine and her husband keep busy with three active sons, three rambunctious dogs, and frequent rounds at the Belvedere Golf and Country Club. To relax, Christine practices yoga and loves to explore new recipes.

Katherine Beddome is all about making sure our clients are well taken care of. She has been with BMO since 2013, specializing in client support as a Private Banking officer at Private Wealth since 2019. She prides herself on her responsiveness, efficiency and client relationships. Once she's dotted all her i's and crossed all her t's, you can find her snuggled up with a good book, her cat Opie, and a wall of house plants.
