Listen to this articleTD Bank is making some changes to its executive leadership team.
In an Oct. 16 press release, the Mount Laurel-based financial institution announced the appointments of Brian Callanan as U.S. general counsel and Andre Ramos as U.S. chief financial officer. Both begin their new positions Dec. 1, the bank said.
Callanan joins TD from Washington, D.C.-headquartered private equity firm Liberty Strategic Capital, where he was senior managing director and general counsel. Prior to that, he was general counsel of the U.S. Department of Treasury.
His background also includes working in private practice as a litigator representing clients across a range of industries in appellate matters, regulatory litigation and government investigations.
As CFO at TD, Ramos will focus on financial strategy, performance management and effective treasury management to support the bank’s U.S. objectives, the release said.
Previously, Ramos spent 11 years at JPMorgan Chase. Most recently, he served as consumer banking CFO for the organization. Ramos has also held senior leadership roles in finance at American Express, HSBC and Citi.
According to a TD spokesperson, Callanan is succeeding Cynthia Adams and Ramos is taking over for Salma Salman. Adams’ LinkedIn profile shows she began the position in January 2023. Salman has been with TD since August 2018 and served as CFO for the past year-and-a-half, her LinkedIn profile says.
‘High-caliber’ talent
Commenting on the appointments, TD Bank President and CEO Leo Salom praised Callanan’s “strong combination of legal and regulatory expertise and leadership experience.” He also called out Ramos’ “decades of experience in senior finance roles at top financial institutions.”
“Together, Brian and Andre will help us navigate an increasingly competitive environment while upholding the highest standards of governance and integrity,” he said. “As I outlined at TD’s Investor Day last month, we have an ambitious plan to become a more efficient, profitable and powerful competitor in the U.S., and with both new and existing high-caliber talent and leadership, TD is poised to deliver on these goals.”
One of the 10 largest banks in North America, TD operates more than 1,100 retail stores in 15 states as well as the nation’s capital. It serves more than 10 million customers.
