“TD has a strong foundation, a talented team, and a deep commitment to helping clients achieve their financial goals,” said Walia. “The opportunity ahead is to bring together trusted advice, innovative technology and the full breadth of TD's capabilities. I look forward to working across the bank to deepen client relationships and make financial advice accessible to more people at every stage of their lives.”
