TD Bank Group has appointed John B. MacIntyre as chair of the board of directors, effective September 1, 2025.
MacIntyre has served as an independent director since 2023 and currently chairs the board’s Human Resources Committee. He will succeed Alan MacGibbon, who is set to retire from the board on the same date.
"I am grateful for the board's confidence. Alongside my fellow directors and in concert with our strong leadership team, I look forward to supporting TD's strategy, further strengthening governance, and delivering long term value," said MacIntyre. "On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Alan for his leadership of the board and service to the bank."
MacIntyre brings three decades of experience in capital markets and is the retired partner-emeritus of Birch Hill Capital Partners, a private equity firm he co-founded in 2005. He has held board positions across a range of public, private, and not-for-profit organisations, including Park Lawn Corporation, HomeEquity Bank, Softchoice Corporation, COM DEV International, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, YMCA Toronto, and the University Health Network Foundation.
In his role as chair, MacIntyre will help oversee TD’s broad financial services platform, which includes a significant insurance business. TD Insurance is one of the largest direct-response home and auto insurance groups in Canada and also offers a range of credit protection and travel insurance products. The business operates through two key segments: general insurance, which includes property and casualty coverage, and life and health insurance.
TD Insurance forms part of the bank’s Canadian retail segment, contributing to both revenue diversification and cross-selling opportunities within TD’s broader banking and wealth management operations. The insurer distributes its products primarily through direct channels and invests in digital capabilities and risk-based pricing to improve customer engagement and operational efficiency.
