As Regional Manager, LGBTQ2+ Business Development at TD, my role is to serve as a trusted liaison between TD and the LGBTQ2+ community. I’m fortunate to work closely with a wide range of talented colleagues from multiple lines of business, including Personal Banking, Business Banking and Wealth Management, in order to provide our customers with the best financial advice and exceptional service.
Previously, I was the manager of the Atateken / Ste-Catherine branch in Montréal helping to open it in August 2015. I have more than fifteen years of experience in business development, including ten with Xerox and two with Domtar.
Involved locally with the Quebec LGBT Chamber of Commerce starting in 2006, I was elected president in July 2011 for three years. I also participated as a board member of Pride at Work Canada from 2010 to 2013.
In early 2012, I got engaged in the creation of the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts Young Philanthropists Circle. I chaired the circle’s executive committee until 2015. When moving to Toronto in 2018, I started to support the Canadian Opera Company with their diversity initiative and joined the board of The Power Plant art gallery in September of 2019.
