TD Bank Group has announced a series of senior leadership appointments effective 4 September 2026 designed to accelerate the strategy set out by Group President and Chief Executive Officer Raymond Chun, the Canadian lender said in a statement on 3 September 2026. The reshuffle reshapes the group's technology and strategy leadership at the top of the executive team.
Vlad Shpilsky has been appointed Group Head, Global Technology and Solutions (GTS), and will continue to lead the GTS organisation. Renu Gupta has been appointed Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer, joining the group's Senior Executive Team. Paul Whitehead has been appointed Senior Executive Vice President, Global Corporate Services, also joining the Senior Executive Team and taking on Global Corporate Affairs and enterprise AI. Chief Operating Officer Taylan Turan will leave the bank as part of the same set of changes.
NEW GROUP HEAD FOR GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY AND SOLUTIONS
Shpilsky's appointment as Group Head, Global Technology and Solutions places him at the top of a function that, TD said, has deployed new platforms and AI-enabled applications to accelerate internal operations, enhance resilience and security, elevate the client experience and drive growth across all lines of business. Chun said the bank wants to "drive change, power our businesses with AI, and deliver differentiated, more human, client experiences".
STRATEGY AND COMMERCIAL ROLE JOINS SENIOR TEAM
Renu Gupta's appointment as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer brings together Enterprise Strategy, Corporate Development, Digital Assets, Payments, Partnerships and Procurement, and brings her onto the bank's Senior Executive Team. TD said the role is intended to help accelerate strategy, growth and execution. Gupta joined TD in 2020 after a career in investment banking and most recently served as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief Financial Officer of TD Securities.
The bank said Chief Operating Officer Taylan Turan will leave TD as part of the changes; it did not give a departure date. TD credited Turan with helping advance the bank's transformation agenda, strengthen operating capabilities and extend its work in AI.
Chun said the appointments bring critical capabilities together, strengthen accountability and position TD to move faster on the priorities that will define its next chapter.
