At TD, we are committed to actively supporting our colleagues and the communities we serve, continuing education and coming together as a Bank to foster a more equitable future for all.
JoAnn Means, Senior Diversity Talent Sourcer, TD Bank, knows how DEI recruitment efforts can pay off for all TD stakeholders — colleagues, customers, shareholders, and local communities. “Companies should prioritize a diverse workforce because diversity drives innovation and creativity by bringing together different perspectives and experiences,” she said. “It’s also the right thing to do and helps us better serve our diverse customer base.”
Hugh Allen, U.S. Head of Commercial Real Estate, notes the role that DEI has across all levels at the bank. “Diversity across the TD franchise at all levels provides a platform for mentorship and sponsorship that will help us retain and develop key talent for the bank,” he said. “We want our workforce to mirror the communities we serve, while our leadership development programs ensure that diverse talent thrives within our organization.”
Marla Willner, Head of Commercial Credit Management and Strategic Initiatives is also the Executive Sponsor of Women at TD. “At TD, we believe in creating an inclusive work environment where all communities have the opportunity to succeed and thrive,” she said.

DEI and philanthropy are close to the heart for Ellen Glaessner, Executive Vice President, U.S. Head, Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship, Senior Advisor to the CEO, General Counsel, and Executive Sponsor of LGBTQ2+, TD Bank. “Community engagement is important for TD Bank because banks do better when our communities do better,” she said. “As part of our local communities, we want to see meaningful and lasting improvement. Nothing makes me prouder of TD’s investment in communities than when I think about the meaningful impact we make in diverse communities.”
