Born in Sri Lanka, and raised in Bahrain, Hiroshani attended boarding school in England and college in Toronto, Canada. &#8220;My unique experience living and working in different countries, have influenced how I value my roots while embracing and appreciating all cultures. I am comfortable bringing my whole self to work at TD, where I can embrace my culture along with the rich diversity of my colleagues. My passion for justice, equality, diversity &amp; inclusion is what drives my support for education initiatives which help dispel ignorance and discrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">After college, having launched her career at TD in Toronto, Hiroshani relocated to the United States where she was able to use her Canadian experience to build the Strategic Sourcing function. Having worked for TD for fifteen years, &#8220;I&#8217;ve learned that when you work for a large organization you must take ownership of your career growth and use all the tools and resources available. At TD, colleagues are happy to support each other, so it&#8217;s easy to ask for help and get the support you need to progress your career. There are so many wonderful opportunities throughout the Bank and TD is really invested in developing diverse talent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">In 2017 Hiroshani was offered the opportunity to attend a leadership program for high potential diverse colleagues. Traveling to Toronto, she spent three days developing her executive presence and communication skills. Hiroshani also met other culturally diverse leaders from Canada and the United States and was able to network with executive leaders from across all lines of business. &#8220;It was incredibly inspiring to hear from so many executives of diverse backgrounds. The experience motivated me to get more involved with diversity and inclusion leadership efforts, to give back and help other colleagues advance their careers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Hiroshani was also invited to participate in the Urban League of Philadelphia&#8217;s Urban Leadership Forum which is an intensive seven-month leadership program including community service contribution to Philadelphia High Schools. She also received valuable training for serving as a board member for non-profits. Leadership training encouraged Hiroshani to recently consider a new career opportunity, as Chief of Staff to the Head of U.S. Collections, which will continue to develop her management skills.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Hiroshani is actively involved with Cultural Employee &amp; Business Groups where she collaborated with peers to launch a professional development program, to help colleagues with resume writing and mock interview workshops. Hiroshani is also proud of an enterprise panel she organized to showcase how employees can bring their whole selves to work, by celebrating and embracing religious beliefs as an element of diversity. The program showcased employees from across the globe celebrating their culture and how their religious requests are accommodated at work while highlighting the commonality across all faiths. &#8220;Religion can be a big part of people&#8217;s lives and culture and how they bring themselves to work. We wanted to highlight the uniqueness of each religion as well as the similarities across all faiths and TD embraced the idea with resounding support. These are just some of the ways that TD celebrates diversity and educates colleagues in a comfortable space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-2' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Mustafa Akbar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span>Store Manager Bronx, <\/span>NY<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16122057\/Mustafa-Akbar-min.jpg\" alt=\"Mustafa Akbar\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">As Mustafa learned from his Pakistan born parents that Bankers are respected members of the community and treated like one of the family, it&#8217;s no wonder he chose a career in banking in 2000. Always looking for ways to give back to the community where he works, Mustafa was thrilled to join TD in 2008 and work in Jackson Heights, the &#8220;Little India&#8221; section of Queens. As he&#8217;d been coming to Jackson Heights since childhood, the community, culture, language, and people were very familiar. &#8220;South Asians tend to be very loyal to banks. I developed local community events including financial literacy programs and career development workshops to support our neighbors. In 2016 we started celebrating Diwali and Ramadan with giveaways for the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Pride in his Pakistani roots and love for his community, encouraged Mustafa to become an active member in TD&#8217;s Regional Cultural Diversity Business Resource Group (BRG)). Through volunteer activities and networking events, Mustafa&#8217;s met many executives who shared helpful career advice. &#8220;Through my involvement in the BRG, I was able to lead a fireside chat with our CFO which honed my confidence in public speaking with senior leaders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Through his work with the BRG, Mustafa led seminars, collaborated on new initiatives, and launched another Business Resource Group to specifically recognize and support South Asians. Hoping to share lessons learned from his work in New York City, Mustafa traveled to different markets in the TD footprint to promote celebrations and events for the South Asian community. &#8220;I was happy to share how promoting cultural awareness of holidays including times of fasting shows support for the community.&#8221; Mustafa&#8217;s partnered with Diversity and Inclusion and South East Asian Business Resource Group leaders in Canada to discuss best practices. He also worked with TD&#8217;s Learning and Development team to consult on training to further promote awareness of the South Asian community.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">When traveling to South Asia, Mustafa brings TD swag to give to children in orphanages and schools. He loves watching children&#8217;s eyes light up at receiving a small treat from a bank in the United States. When Pakistan was devastated with massive floods, Mustafa reached out to TD leaders who responded with a donation to aid victims. &#8220;I was impressed that TD was able to support a global catastrophe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-3' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Lilibeth Ramirez<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span> Assistant Vice President, U.S. Employee Services &amp; Programs<\/span> Mount Laurel, NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16122346\/Lilibeth-Ramirez.jpg\" alt=\"Lilibeth Ramirez\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Lilibeth proudly describes herself as a dynamic combination of big personality, passion and ambition who relishes being a resource for the Latinx community. Whether she&#8217;s sharing accessible resources to families in need, mentoring those who need career advice, or helping jobseekers with mock interviews, Lilibeth likes to be hands on and get to know the people in her community. &#8220;The Latinx culture comes together to help others in need and one of the biggest things I can offer is hope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Prior to joining TD almost six years ago, Lilibeth worked as the HR Director of Operations for a Latino-based human services non-profit organization. This experience strengthened Lilibeth&#8217;s passion for helping multicultural colleagues advance in the workplace. &#8220;I&#8217;m always searching for ways to support marginalized communities, create environments where people feel comfortable to share stories about their culture, and realize their voice is important and deserves to be heard. At TD, I&#8217;m able to do my job and support my community. I&#8217;m able to create visibility for the Latinx community and show who we are and how we contribute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">While Lilibeth is a busy Human Resources leader who takes pride in her work, she also enjoys sharing her passion for community service with her colleagues. &#8220;I encourage my team to think about how we can do more service in our community. This always results in lots of positivity and good feelings. It also helps people find meaningful activities and challenges beyond their day-to-day job. &#8220;I think of TD as a community minded bank that uses the grass roots efforts of employees to do good.&#8221; Lilibeth&#8217;s savvy career advice for her mentees is to &#8220;seize the moment and take a chance; invest in your career development; network and nurture relationships; learn all you can about your organization; make time to do good for your community and volunteer!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Lilibeth has led and championed dynamic U.S. Diversity and Inclusion strategies, programs, and events to empower employee development, mentorship, talent management, and community engagement.

I found TD&#8217;s shared commitments impactful. I take pride in &#8216;thinking like a customer;&#8217; acting like an owner;&#8217; &#8216;executing with speed and impact;&#8217; innovating with purpose;&#8217; and developing our colleagues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Following his graduation from Queens College, Ravi shifted his original goal of becoming a Graphic Designer. Pursuing leadership training at TD, Ravi became a Store Supervisor in diverse Regal Park in Long Island City, New York. &#8220;Opening a new store is always exciting but when you launch in an emerging market and need to build your reputation, you need to knock on doors, make contacts, get to know people and prove your value.&#8221; As a first generation, Guianese American whose parents migrated to the U.S. in the 1970&#8217;s, Ravi credits the diverse melting pot culture of his Queens, New York home with helping him to embrace all cultures. &#8220;Appreciating people&#8217;s diverse stories helps you relate and find common ground. When I listen to people&#8217;s stories and share my own, it builds trust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Ravi&#8217;s hands on approach to business and desire to be active in the community helped the Regal Park location thrive and earned him a promotion to Assistant Store Manager. With a successful reputation and willingness to do whatever it takes, Ravi was asked to open another new store, this time in New York City&#8217;s Fulton and Pearl Financial District location. Forming strong partnerships with bank leaders, Ravi was instrumental in building the location from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve always enjoyed good relationships with my managers and shared my career goal of becoming a Store Manager. Having clear goals and taking advice of TD leaders helped me make my career goal a reality. I&#8217;ve also been fortunate to mentor colleagues in the nuances of opening a successful new location.&#8221; Four years ago, Ravi was promoted to Store Manager for the Greenwich Avenue store and takes pride in getting to know customers, colleagues, and community. &#8220;I spend a lot of time with my team, and I appreciate their hard work and dedication. I appreciate the challenges that occur daily and the enthusiasm and commitment they bring to work.&#8221; Ravi is a hands-on leader who is not above jumping in as a Teller when it gets busy.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Ravi advises job seekers to be curious and open to new opportunities. Look for mentors and people who will advise you and share your goals while listening to their suggestions. &#8220;TD is a growth company with so many opportunities for different careers. Your career is not limited at TD, you have wonderful options to grow your career. You should become a member of business resources groups for areas that interest you. Through my involvement in TD&#8217;s Regional Cultural Diversity Business Resource Group, I&#8217;ve also Co-Led a South Asian Leadership group and used my marketing skills to promote events. As new chapters of our group have opened throughout the TD footprint, I get to meet new people and help them spread their passion for our culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-5' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Jay Muthukamatchi<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\"><span> Project Manager,<\/span>Wilmington, DE<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16122631\/Jay-Muthukamatchi-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"Jay Muthukamatchi\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Growing up on a farm in a small village in India, Jay developed a passion for nature, and experienced firsthand the strains of living in difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Every spring and summer, the wells that supplied water to each home in his town ran dry. Without phones or cars, villagers walked for miles to purchase water from a vendor.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cWe really struggled getting water even to drink,\u201d said Jay. Even so, his mother managed to provide water when thirsty strangers knocked on the door, a lesson in the art of giving.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cThat\u2019s how I grew up,\u201d he said. These and other early experiences spurred Jay in 2015 to establish the nonprofit<a href=\"https:\/\/charitycrossing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"blue-link\" aria-label=\"Charity Crossing Inc. open in new window\" rel=\"noopener\"> Charity Crossing Inc.,<\/a> a volunteer organization dedicated to meeting the basic needs, primarily food and clothing &#8212; of people in need in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and India. It also pursues environmentally friendly endeavors.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cCharity Crossing\u2019s mission is to provide basic needs to the homeless and low-income communities, promote volunteerism and giving, and help Mother Nature by reducing waste going to landfills,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Charity Crossing, with 100 to 150 active volunteers, has helped at least 75,000 people and provided <span class=\"arial-font\">$398,149<\/span> in donations. It has donated more than 250,000 gently used clothing, and household items, partly by partnering with retailers to redistribute unsold merchandise that otherwise would head to landfills. The organization has also sponsored numerous volunteer events, including an Autism walk, school supply and holiday gift drives, a prom dress giveaway, personal hygiene kit distribution, and disaster relief efforts.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">When the pandemic hit last year, \u201cwe never closed our door,\u201d Jay said. In 2020, Charity Crossing served 11,000 meals and distributed 40,000 cloth masks, 16,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, and 10,000 socks to homeless people and low-income families.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">In India, Jay leads a project that has planted <span class=\"arial-font\">60,855<\/span> trees in two years. To provide pandemic relief, the organization recently arranged for 20,000 meals for distribution to the homeless and low-income families by providing financing to nonprofit volunteer networks in India.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Seeing the positive impact that Charity Crossing has made has resulted in additional donors and volunteers joining hands to help drive the food distribution initiative.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">To keep costs lower and more effectively serve those in need, the group partners with other organizations locally and in India to distribute food, clothing, and household items.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cWe don\u2019t do everything ourselves, as we believe in teamwork, we work with other organizations to serve more people,\u201d Jay said.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">&#8220;Jay is a force in the charity and volunteer world and a great brand ambassador for TD. He brings his passion to work and encourages us all to participate in helping our communities,&#8221; said Laura Chadbourne, Portfolio Director, and Jay&#8217;s manager. &#8220;His commitment to others is reflected in how he manages day-to-day projects and serves as a foundation for his success &#8211; here and at Charity Crossing&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Jay\u2019s project management know-how plays an important role at Charity Crossing. His TD Bank projects are \u201cmatrixed\u201d efforts that involve working with executives and people who don\u2019t report directly to him; those skills help him provide a fun, heart-warming experience for volunteers, specifically those who are younger.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Jay\u2019s childhood experiences inspire him with this charity work. His paternal grandmother, a single mom who raised four children, labored in the fields, and would cook dishes from plants that she cleared away and brought home, he said. The family started to cook meals for people, which increased their income and helped Jay\u2019s father obtain his engineering degree. His father, the family\u2019s first graduate, in turn helped other relatives.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Growing up on his maternal grandparents\u2019 farm, Jay helped with chores and would walk to and from school. \u201cThat\u2019s when I fell in love with mother nature, trees, animals,\u201d he said. His family later moved to Chennai, a metropolitan city where they struggled financially; with only two shirts and two pairs of pants his entire high school freshman year, Jay learned the importance of food and clothing.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">\u201cMany of the children these days have no idea of these things,\u201d said Jay, a father of two daughters who volunteer with the organization. \u201cMy kids who are growing up in the suburbs, they have very little exposure to that other side of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">An advocate for the power of community service, Jay successfully urged Delaware legislators to pass a resolution recognizing April as <a href=\"https:\/\/legis.delaware.gov\/BillDetail?LegislationId=58544\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"blue-link\" aria-label=\"Volunteer month open in new windwo\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cVolunteer Month\u201d<\/a> in the state this year. And in 2020, he was bestowed an honor few Americans receive. President Donald Trump awarded Jay with the President&#8217;s Call to Service Award for his 4,000+ hours of extraordinary service. It is the highest level of the President&#8217;s Volunteer Service Award.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">After operating from his home for years, he is raising funds for a leased warehouse and a truck so volunteers can pick up more pallets of merchandise donated by retailers.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Driving his efforts is a desire to bring happiness to people. \u201cIt warms my heart. I feel healthy. I sleep well. My mind always thinks about new ideas to find ways to help others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-6' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Anne Louie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span> Vice President, Store Manager,<\/span>Canal Street, New York, NY<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16122753\/Anne-Louie-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"Anne Louie\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Prior to attending New York University where she would major in Computer Science, Anne needed a summer job and thought banking would be a good option. &#8220;I thought banks closed by 3:00 pm so I took a test and got a job as a Teller in a bank in Chinatown in New York City. I was immediately impressed with the professional environment and loved working with customers. I set my sights on getting a desk job at the bank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">As the fastest Teller at her location, Anne was invited to extend her summer job and continued working part time as she pursued her degree. Following graduation, Anne was offered a role in a Management Training program. Unsure of the right path to launch her career, Anne realized retail banking was a great fit for her people focused personality and she wanted to learn everything about banking. Within six months of graduation Anne was promoted to an Assistant Branch Manager opportunity. When her manager retired four years later, Anne was promoted to Branch Manager.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Anne&#8217;s banking career continued to thrive but took a detour following some major life events. Anne paused her career to start a family. She opened a store (which grew to four locations) that helped her blend work with the needs of her family. Anne also got cancer and needed to focus on her health. &#8220;Around the time that I was cancer-free and sold my stores, a friend encouraged me to go back to work in banking. I started part-time and quickly got used to the pace of retail banking. While I enjoyed working with customers, I wanted to find a bank with a great work culture. A former colleague referred me to TD and encouraged me to consider an Assistant Store Manager role. Despite a longer commute, I took the job because I was impressed with TD&#8217;s inclusive culture.&#8221; A few years later, as Anne&#8217;s manager retired, Anne was promoted to Store Manager.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">How did TD&#8217;s culture convince Anne to take a step back to her current role and endure a longer commute? &#8220;At other banks I&#8217;ve felt like a number, at TD, leadership views you as a whole person and offers support, appreciates dedication and hard work.&#8221; Anne feels growing up in an immigrant family shows you&#8217;re taught to work hard and put your best foot forward. &#8220;Watching your parents struggle can make you question if you can succeed in corporate America because of glass ceilings. It&#8217;s common to believe you won&#8217;t find success. I&#8217;ve found diversity inspiring and with hard work, the sky&#8217;s the limit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Looking back on her career, Anne is proud to have broken down language barriers between the bank and Chinatown locals and was able to use her expertise in financial literacy to help customers navigate applications, ensuring their banking experiences were successful. During the recent COVID crisis, many of Anne&#8217;s small business customers who make up the vast majority of the Chinatown community, lost millions of dollars in revenue from the stay-at-home mandate. Some businesses were forced to close, but many were able to survive thanks to the positive reputation TD held because of Anne\u2019s continued support of small business owners. From helping customers understand the Paycheck Protection Program to providing daily banking essentials during lockdown, Anne ensured the needs of her customers were met. &#8220;I&#8217;m honored that the community where I grew up was able to trust both TD Bank and I with their finances during a time when peoples livelihood and businesses became threatened.&#8221; For her outstanding performance during the pandemic, Anne won TD&#8217;s 2020 CEO Leadership Award and the Vision In Action award.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-7' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Felipe Basulto<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span>Retail Market President,<\/span> South Florida<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16122926\/Felipe-Basulto-Photo-min-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Felipe Basulto\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">To Felipe, being American means you have a special connection to another country. As a first generation American of Cuban decent, Felipe loves the music, food, and people of his family&#8217;s homeland. &#8220;Your culture is how you express yourself and your values. It&#8217;s how you appreciate the nuances that make your heritage extraordinary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">The Spanish language is a big part of Felipe&#8217;s home life. &#8220;My family frequently speak &#8220;Spanglish&#8221; at home, we love the combination of Spanish and English words and phrases. It&#8217;s wonderful to have everyone excited and speaking at the same time combining languages. The rich Spanish language beautifully captures the unique meaning of phrases and words; it&#8217;s how your express yourself and connects people in my culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Felipe enjoys learning about other people&#8217;s cultures and looks for similarities to identify what unites us. &#8220;I don&#8217;t label people. I don&#8217;t assume that if you&#8217;re Hispanic, I know everything about your culture. I&#8217;m curious and ask questions about people&#8217;s heritage; I give them the opportunity to brag about where they&#8217;re from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Pride in his Cuban heritage was re-introduced to Felipe after he graduated from high school. &#8220;I had blond hair and fair skin and people didn&#8217;t notice an accent, so they were surprised I was Cuban. Wanting to fit in, I referred to myself as Phil rather than Felipe. People would ask me where I was from because I didn&#8217;t look Cuban. I asked myself &#8216;what does Cuban look like&#8217;? Like all countries, Cuba has descendants from all over the world. I became passionate about helping people learn and appreciate different cultures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Felipe considers himself very approachable, friendly, and happy to connect with people throughout the bank. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always found people at TD are interested in my journey and those of my colleagues. There are many Business Resource Groups that allow me to support my gratitude for my culture while gaining exposure to new heritages.&#8221; Throughout his career, Felipe&#8217;s found it impactful to be agile, flexible, and curious, while always finding ways to diversify his professional experience. &#8220;At TD, there&#8217;s tremendous appreciation and support for diversity. We offer employees resources to excel and encourage them to seek opportunities to grow their career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-8' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Carmen Fleetwood Paul<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span> Senior News Writer and Editor, Corporate and Public Affairs, (CAPA),<\/span> Mount Laurel, NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2630\/2022\/12\/16123109\/Carmen-Fleetwood-Paul.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Guzman\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">One of the joys of Carmen&#8217;s life is doing pet therapy with her golden retriever, Elsa. Visiting nursing homes and schools, they enjoy meeting new people. Recently, the pair were asked to join the hospice program at their local Veterans Administration hospital.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">&#8220;I had a million excuses for not participating, but the truth was I was afraid of the sadness. I was about to respond via email while sitting in my dining room when I looked at the portrait of my late mother. My beautiful Paraguayan mother \u2013 Maria Emilia Valenzuela Fleetwood. I then remembered one of the most important lessons she gave me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">She had returned to medicine after a 20-year hiatus to raise her family. Her new practice in the mid-1980s was in Jersey City, a place devastated by the HIV\/AIDS epidemic. It was a time when some healthcare providers quit to avoid treating these patients. The providers that did treat HIV\/AIDS patients, did so while wearing full masks and gloves to prevent direct skin contact.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">My mother had the burden of telling a young woman that she tested positive for HIV &#8211; at that time a virtual death sentence. Not wearing any protective gear, my mother hugged the young woman, and they spoke and cried together for two hours.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">I asked my mother why she took the risk. She said simply &#8220;no one should be alone at that time. I am from Paraguay, and we don&#8217;t leave people when they need us most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">I knew what I had to do with the request for the hospice program \u2013 I wrote my email asking when I could start.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">It&#8217;s been a difficult time in the Hispanic community with incidents such as the El Paso shooting and immigration debates. The celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month has caused me to consider what my roots mean.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">My mother was born in Paraguay and first came to Boston when she received a fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Afterwards, she married my father, whose Virginia family first arrived in the U.S. from England in the late 17th century. She became a proud U.S. citizen after the birth of her three children in New York City, but she also continued to take pride in being from Paraguay. I primarily grew up in suburban New Jersey in a blended household where we celebrated the traditions of both my parents. But few people knew much about Paraguay in my area. It&#8217;s a landlocked country in Southern Central South America of about 6 million people. The population is mostly mixed between Spanish and the native Indians \u2013 Guarini. The official languages are both Spanish and Guarini. Its most significant imports include the sweetener Stevia and beef.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">&#8220;In our family, we ate steak regularly (my grandmother believed it was unhealthy not to eat daily), Sopa de Paraguay (a type of cornbread), empanadas, Dulce de leche, and my favorite, Milanese, which is a breaded meat dish. We listened to Paraguayan harp and guitar music.&#8221; Carmen&#8217;s family was different in that they always had dinners together. &#8220;We also took joy in the simplest things, such as going to the supermarket on Saturday as a family. While I admit to being embarrassed by those trips as a teen, they are now treasured memories. It&#8217;s something that I live by today. One of the happiest things for me is a simple Sunday barbecue with my husband.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Carmen has a special affinity in Paraguay between its people and horses. &#8220;My grandmother Carmen (whom I am named after) was an excellent side-saddle rider. I&#8217;ve carried on the equestrian tradition, but as a dressage rider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">The poverty level in Paraguay is about 30%, and life is hard. But you may be surprised that the 2016 Gallup Global Emotions Report named it as the happiest country on the globe. I believe it&#8217;s because of the soul of the Paraguayan culture \u2013 one that accepts the hardship of life and strives to make it better.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Perhaps one of the best illustrations is The Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, an orchestra of Paraguayan children who had to make musical instruments made from scrap materials collected from landfills because of a lack of money. This group went on to playing all over the world with major stars, such as Stevie Wonder, Metallica, and Megadeth.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">&#8220;I know my mother would be thrilled that I am working for TD, the &#8220;Unexpectedly Human&#8221; Bank. She believed that reaching out was the most important thing about life after family. She would certainly enjoy the culture of making people a priority \u2013 saying that was the Paraguayan way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Carmen&#8217;s been learning more about the value of reaching out with her volunteer work at the hospice. Visiting people weekly at the end of their lives has been both joyous and sad. &#8220;Elsa and I are there for the people when they need a joy that only a dog can bring, whether it&#8217;s talking about the dogs they&#8217;ve had in the past or just comforting family as their loved one dies. I know this role honors my mother and my Paraguayan roots for which I am so proud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-09' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Eddie &#8220;Nadir&#8221; Jones<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span>Head of U.S. Product, TD Auto Finance; Executive Co-Chair, TD Multicultural Network, <\/span>Prosper, Texas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2847\/2023\/06\/16181235\/TD-NadirJones-v2.jpg\" alt=\"Taania Sheikh\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Both of Nadir Jones\u2019 parents had great ideas when it was time to name their son. His father, Eddie Jr., chose to carry on their family legacy by passing his name down to his son, while his mother selected Nadir \u2013 meaning rare in African and Arabic.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">As Nadir began his career, he felt it was important to recognize his sense of self and honor his diversity which plays an integral part in his life. &#8220;As a Black man, I have different perspectives on life and the banking industry within diverse communities. I value diversity of thought as it enriches how we do business,&#8221; Nadir said. When Nadir joined TD two years ago, he was impressed that his manager asked him about his name. Nadir&#8217;s manager wanted to use the correct name to make his new hire felt comfortable at work. &#8220;I was introduced as Nadir to my new colleagues, and it felt genuine, authentic and welcoming. When working with people from different cultural backgrounds, the intent should be to do the right thing to make the person feel welcomed,&#8221; Nadir said.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">As Executive Co-Lead of TD&#8217;s Multicultural Network, Nadir appreciates all cultures and believes our upbringings make us unique and add value to collaboration. &#8220;I like to understand how people like to be treated and the holidays they celebrate. I also enjoy learning about their culture because it enriches our interactions,&#8221; he said. Nadir believes the time spent familiarizing yourself with others\u2019 cultures forms a deeper understanding of them as individuals. He went on to say, &#8220;During the summer George Floyd was murdered, some of my colleagues were surprised to learn I&#8217;ve had run-ins with police. By sharing my stories as a Black man, I bring my whole cultural self to the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Nadir encourages multicultural colleagues to consider joining business resource groups at work to support cultural diversity, share their perspectives and learn from others. &#8220;In TD&#8217;s Multicultural Network, big ideas come from all group members. We thrive on learning what&#8217;s important to the people in our group. When the rubber meets the road, members of TD&#8217;s Multicultural Network engage with colleagues at all levels across the bank and receive visibility from senior leaders, while highlighting their passion for cultural diversity. Everyone has the opportunity to share a suggestion or help create a strategy to move the idea into action. As a leader, it&#8217;s great to see people use their cultural pride and talent to execute plans and move goals forward for our Multicultural Network.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Nadir feels you should not be afraid to find a mentor at any point in your career. &#8220;At the start of my career, I didn&#8217;t know who or how to ask for help. I&#8217;m grateful I was given a mentor earlier in my career. My piece of advice is to always look for people who can help you throughout your career. I&#8217;m fortunate that some of my mentors are now friends, and we continue to elevate one another through our career paths,&#8221; said Nadir. Another great tip Nadir learned is to be bold. He said, &#8220;Make yourself uncomfortable and find opportunities to stretch your skills. Growth will move you off where you are comfortable, but it will give you new responsibilities and new people to learn from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='popup-10' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling avia-bg-style-scroll  white-popup mfp-hide popup-st iwda-popup container_wrap fullsize'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20258'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div>\n<div class=\"head-desc\">\n<div class=\"p-title\">\n<h3 tabindex=\"0\"><strong>Ravi Acharya<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-desig\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span>Head of Consumer Distribution Program Delivery, Executive Co-Chair, Multicultural Network, <\/span>Philadelphia, PA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pop-im \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2847\/2023\/06\/16181231\/Acharya_Ravi-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"Taania Sheikh\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"p-content\">\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Ravi launched his career with a design engineering company after completing his Bachelor&#8217;s in Engineering in Mumbai. Spending two years as an engineer taught Ravi essential life lessons \u2013 be curious and optimistic about the future and open to opportunity, even if you&#8217;re unsure where the new adventure will lead you. &#8220;I was uncertain that I wanted to spend my career in engineering and realized college doesn&#8217;t guarantee a successful track for your entire life. We shouldn&#8217;t box ourselves in with choices made early in life,&#8221; Ravi said. Deciding it would be exciting to live in the United States, Ravi pursued his MBA at the University of Delaware&#8217;s Alfred Lerner College of Business &amp; Economics.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Unfazed that he didn&#8217;t know anyone in a new country, Ravi embraced learning in his new home and made wonderful friends. During his third semester in graduate school, Ravi received a job offer from a bank. At that time, he was intrigued by the work but didn&#8217;t understand all the job details. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t comprehend the depth of an Analyst role. I couldn&#8217;t tell you what a typical day was or what my job would entail. Luckily, the person who hired me told me they needed my critical thinking skills and promised I would learn the rest on the job,&#8221; he said. The opportunity was an excellent foundation for Ravi&#8217;s career. He learned SAS (data management software) and SQL (database m and honed his critical thinking ability.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">A year and a half into his analyst role, Ravi was asked to be a Product Manager for the first internet-only bank in the US. He again found himself intrigued, but unsure of what he&#8217;d do in this new role. Ravi said, &#8220;I had to learn new processes and understand how business and systems connect.\u201d His willingness to change and embrace something different, ask questions, stay curious, and ask for help set the tone for Ravi&#8217;s career success. He took groundbreaking digital roles and agreed to jump in to turn around an unprofitable business line and turned it into a profitable success. &#8220;I took roles that were new and untested or failing with an urgent need to be fixed. My optimism and desire to find potential give me the energy to tackle the unknown and soak up the knowledge needed to navigate change. I&#8217;ve been lucky to attract great people who enjoy using innovative ways to solve problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Four years ago, Ravi was approached by a leader who previously worked with him to see if he&#8217;d consider joining TD. &#8220;There was no title or team, but many great ideas about a potential opportunity. As I interviewed, I was impressed that everyone raved about TD&#8217;s passion for customer service. I also loved hearing everyone speak enthusiastically about TD&#8217;s inclusive culture and knew I could be happy here,&#8221; he said. Ravi was hired as the Head of Enterprise Innovation and recently moved into his current role as Head of Consumer Distribution Program Delivery, focusing on TD&#8217;s most significant projects.<\/p>\n<p tabindex=\"0\">Always open to a challenge, Ravi once told his wife and her friend that he found it difficult to find women for digital roles he was trying to fill on his team. Believing he was doing everything possible to attract talent, his wife and her friend spent the next few hours explaining why he needed to challenge his current methods. Ravi took the advice and gathered the women on his team to ask what they liked about their work and what was needed to attract more women to the team. He ensured women knew about openings, so they could refer former colleagues. After a year of prioritizing his goal of hiring more women to his team, Ravi is proud that he met his goal. Looking back on his time with TD, Ravi is pleased to break stereotypes and encourage colleagues with non-traditional professional experience to move into roles they may not have considered. &#8220;When possible, I encourage my team to remove a college degree requirement. I don&#8217;t want to limit people with valuable experience and a willingness to learn in a new role. I love to welcome people from all different backgrounds and encourage them to consider working in new parts of the organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1472,"featured_media":0,"parent":557,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20258","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cultural Diversity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TD is invested in providing an accessible and supportive environment for all of our employees.
