sector
experience to TD
Toronto,
April 6, 2006
- TD
Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Frank
McKenna as Deputy Chair of the Bank. In his new role, McKenna will be
responsible for helping to build long-term business relationships that support
the Bank’s growth strategy both in Canada and the United States. The appointment
is effective May 1, 2006.
“We
are
thrilled that Frank will be adding his knowledge and expertise to our already
strong senior executive team,” said TD’s President and CEO, Ed Clark. “Frank’s
experience here in Canada and in the United States will be an asset to TD
as we
work to reinforce our market presence and grow our businesses in both
countries,” added Clark.
Reporting
to Ed Clark, McKenna will be responsible for supporting the Bank in its customer
acquisition strategy, particularly in the area of Wholesale and Commercial
banking. In addition, he will be responsible for representing TD as it works
to
expand its North American presence as one of the ten largest banks as measured
by market capitalization.
“I’ve
reached a point in my life where I want to be associated with projects and
organizations that are important to me personally and that I think are important
to Canada. Joining TD fulfilled both of those aspirations. My role at TD
will be
similar to work I’ve done over the last eight years for a variety of
organizations, with the added benefit that I can now concentrate my efforts
as
part of one, integrated TD team with an unwavering focus on growth. It’s an
incredibly exciting prospect and I look forward to working with Ed and his
leadership team to contribute to such a successful and dynamic organization,”
said McKenna.
First
elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1982, McKenna became
the
Premier of New Brunswick in 1987. After serving as Premier for 10 years,
McKenna
returned to the practice of law and served on a number of corporate boards,
before being appointed Canada’s Ambassador to the U.S. in 2005. McKenna
graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a Bachelor of Arts degree,
completed his post-graduate studies in political science at Queen’s University
and graduated from the University of New Brunswick Law School.
