Jason Thacker, Senior Vice President, Head of Consumer Deposits and Payments at TD, has been named one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40® for 2018.
Thacker was selected from a pool of more than 800 nominees by an independent advisory board comprised of more than 20 business leaders across Canada, based on four criteria: Vision & Innovation; Leadership; Impact & Influence; and Social Responsibility.
"It is an honor to represent TD as a recipient of Canada's Top 40 Under 40 for 2018," said Thacker. "I am proud to stand alongside such accomplished Canadian business leaders. I share this recognition with my fellow TD colleagues and am grateful to the incredible mentors who've inspired and supported me over the years."
Thacker joined TD in 2007 and has held a variety of executive roles both in Canada and the U.S. across the Consumer, Commercial and Corporate & Specialty Banking businesses. He currently works in TD's U.S. operations based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, leading the deposits and payments team in the bank's consumer banking division, one of TD's largest U.S. businesses. Thacker's team supports the day-to-day banking experiences for more than 5 million retail customers, covering deposits, term deposits, debit and stored value card products, while also managing business requirements around legal, regulatory and public policy.
"During his decade-long tenure with TD, Jason's exemplary leadership qualities have enabled him to enjoy a rare and accelerated career trajectory," said Greg Braca, President and CEO of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank. "Our senior leadership team has entrusted him to oversee some of the most complex and critical roles at the bank. I am confident that Jason will continue to contribute significantly to TD in the years to come."
