Jeff Smolkin, vice president, legal, at TD Bank Group.
sits on the Legal team’s diversity,
equity and inclusion (DEI)
committee and the TD Indigenous
Peoples committee.
“For me, driving DEI is an
important part of why people
are successful when they come
to work,” he says. “I’ve had
the opportunity to make an
impact, not just on the colleague
experience, but by giving back to
the communities we serve, such as
Project Backpack, where we pack
school supplies and nonperishable goods in backpacks
and send them to families living in
remote parts of northern Canada.
“Having the freedom to take
time for philanthropy in our
schedule gives people a boost.”
Olubamise has also enjoyed several opportunities to volunteer for
the community, including the TD
Mindpower Analytics for Social
Good program, which allowed her
to develop technical skills while
supporting non-profits.
“Giving back to community
has always been one of my
core values,” she says. “At TD,
you’re supported to do it as part of
our culture.”
TD is proud to be one of
Canada’s Best Diversity Employers.
