Canada
I am delighted to be joining TD as General Counsel, Canadian Banking to provide leadership and strategic guidance to the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking businesses. I know what builds trust. And what breaks it. I am curious and driven by a desire to help organizations, and the people within them, work better and be more successful. As a general counsel, law firm partner, executive, and director with over 25 years of experience spanning top law firms, major Canadian banks, and governance leadership roles, I have held senior executive positions including Chief Legal Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer, leading enterprise strategy across legal, regulatory, compliance, ethics, privacy, and inclusion functions.
I provide leadership and strategic guidance to the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking businesses of TD Bank. Bringing extensive leadership experience in Canada’s financial sector, I am excited to share my deep expertise in banking law, covering personal, commercial, and corporate lending, as well as governance, regulatory compliance, litigation, and risk management with TD.
