This role has been my foray into a technology focused organization, helping clients achieve their objectives using Engage’s loyalty platform and tools. The size of the organization is vastly different, but being able to bring my loyalty experience from the credit cards space has made this transition easier amongst a great group of people. In this role I’ve been able to: • Working with developers, architects and engineers, I've learned how SaaS products/enhancements are developed and shipped for large clients • Continue to work with both financial institutions and credit card networks specifically from the loyalty technology solutions perspective • Provide strategic consultation internally and externally • Exposure to non-domestic markets with Australian and American clients

This was a great role that helped leverage my business experience in credit cards while getting exposure to the workings and execution of the bank’s digital channel. A highly complex machine in constant conflict – innovating on antiquated rails while intently looking forward to build anew. Some of my accomplishments in this space: • Drove a design gamification engagement that helped conceptualize the approach and possibilities to early cardholder adoption both during early month on book and ongoing • Acted as a consultant to the line of business to complete a Visa discovery session. This session had a focus on solutioning a highly disruptive customer experience scenario for a transformational program • Bringing definition to the unknown: developed and delivered context and digital capability roadmap document for the Small Business Cards team – an aspect of the business that had largely been untouchedIn this role, I also had the opportunity to coach the entire team on how best to approach and develop strategy, and articulate it in presentation format. While the role didn’t have any direct reports, I did have the opportunity to coach and informally mentor several members of the team which, as it always is, rewarding.

One often looks back at their career and will reflect which role gave them a lot – for me, this was that role. Constant executive exposure, presentation development for the highest levels in the organization, challenging partner conversations and managing a complex enterprise initiative can impart a lot of learning and growth. A few of the accomplishments I gained coming out of this role:• Business Program Owner: I played point in bringing a large scale, multi-million dollar initiative to funding. This meant working directly with my VP and Workstream Leads to formulate the business case and strategy storyboard. This was socialized throughout the organization to drive broad based buy-in up to the CEO• Executive Filtering: Decisioning and triaging problems/decisions in advance of executive escalation put me through the test of assessing what will and won’t be critical to ultimate decision makers• Pursuing Discomfort: Leading and successfully completing a contract negotiation with a major strategic partner for the bank. This was a long, but also exciting experience in understanding how to defend positions and craft mutual wins. In absence of a lead negotiator, I took on a dual role in combination with the Business Lead. This taught me to adapt into a role that I wasn’t necessarily comfortable with.As a tenured individual in the business with experience across virtually all of its product pillars, I took every opportunity to always make time for those who were new or learning it. In this individual contributor role, I took time to not only speak to what I was doing – since it impacted the forward view of the cards business, but also drove the thinking on where the bank and industry was going. I was also passionate about making sure I was coaching and mentoring peers or junior team members about what and where they saw their careers going. The results were some fantastic connections, all while keeping my coaching and talent identification skills sharp.

It’ll be tough to cram 11 years of product management experience into this space, but I’ll give it a shot. These roles gave me so much, namely; P&L and people management, adaptation to change, major initiatives and the discovery of my passion in the cause and effect of consumer behaviour relative to P&L outcomes. My condensed strip list of highlights in Credit Cards and Small Business:• Launched the Aeroplan Credit Card products, leading the construct and marketing streams – a fascinating period of fluidity in the industry • Managed TD’s hero or lead travel product, launching a new integrated travel partnership – Expedia For TD – and decommissioning the old• Led a team of 5 brilliant product managers• Multiple lifecycle campaigns to drive double digit balance and line growth • Exceeded business case targets for the first incentive based offer for Small Business Credit in nearly a decade. It was well received by customers and as importantly, the sales channel• Successfully completed the first ever pricing change for credit cards. The outcome was exponential revenue growth since completion. Not only was it across three platforms, it included multiple changes to various rates and included the creation of a new one – this was my baptism by fire coming into cards, but it was an incredible learning experienceGrowth, learning and an appreciation for how things get done at TD. The roles where I lead taught me that leading and guiding individuals took time and that direct reports didn’t mean boxes and lines, but people and connections. Those connections were critical, not only to engage and empower, but to build the environment that made coming in to spend a third of your day with colleagues a fun thing. Of course, none of it was perfect and I learned along the way, but I loved the feedback and always self-reflected to improve. As high school can be life's formative years, these were mine in defining who I wanted to be as a leader.
