TD Bank Financial Group Announces Changes to TD Canada Trust Leadership
Customer-focussed approach to continue to be a priority
Toronto (Nov. 29): TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) President and Chief Executive Officer Ed Clark today announced that Bernie Dorval, Executive Vice President, TDBFG and Tim Hockey, Executive Vice President, TDBFG have been appointed Co-Chairs of TD Canada Trust, and will jointly be accountable for the overall success of the Bank's personal and commercial operations. This change is a result of the decision of Andrea Rosen, Vice Chair TDBFG and President TD Canada Trust to take a year off, effective January 2005.
"Under the joint leadership of Bernie and Tim, I'm confident that TD Canada Trust will continue on the momentum that Andrea built in ensuring a relentless focus on customers and a comfortable banking experience. The strong organization and talented leadership team within TD CT will no doubt continue to execute with excellence under Bernie and Tim's guidance," said Ed Clark. "Andrea did an outstanding job in her role as President of TD Canada Trust. Under her leadership TDCT delivered eight consecutive quarters of double digit earnings growth, a financial track record that speaks for itself," added Clark.
Bernie Dorval will continue to focus his energies on growing TD's Business Banking and Insurance group, which is a major element of TD's future growth strategy. Bernie's financial services experience spans 31 years, including roles in retail products, lending, insurance and more recently business banking.
Tim Hockey's responsibilities will include leadership for TD's Personal Banking business including its distribution channels and personal financial products and services. Tim's 22 years of banking experience, including his most recent position as the head of the retail branch network and electronic channels, ideally positions him to take on this expanded role.
"I respect Andrea's decision to spend time with her family and wish her all the best during her year off. We look forward to her return and, given her proven track record and depth of experience, will find the appropriate senior executive role within TD to leverage her skills when she decides to return," said Clark.
"I am pleased that I work for an organization that respects these types of personal decisions and look forward to my time away. I'm proud to have led a team of amazing employees who are dedicated to doing what's right for the customer. I enjoyed my leadership role and I look forward to hearing about the inevitable success that the next generation of leaders within TD CT will deliver," said Andrea Rosen.
