Diversity Leadership

Our commitment to diversity starts at the most senior levels at TD Bank. President and CEO Bharat Masrani and the Senior Executive Team have made diversity a strategic business priority and are playing a very direct role in driving the agenda forward.

In the U.S., to align with TD’s global efforts, we established a Diversity Leadership Team in 2008. Reporting directly to the President and CEO, the Diversity Leadership Team is made up of senior business leaders across TD. The Team is chaired by David Boone, Executive Vice President, TD Bank USA Corporate Strategy. The Diversity Leadership Team champions diversity across TD by driving enterprise-wide diversity initiatives and working with businesses and support groups to embed diversity into their business plans. Currently, the Diversity Leadership Team is focused on key priorities and has created subcommittees to work on each of these priorities (see below).

A Diversity Office works closely with the Diversity Leadership Team to support and coordinate embedding diversity strategies, practices, policies and programs across and within the business lines.
