TD Bank, which has its U.S. headquarters in Cherry Hill, recently announced Andy Bregenzer and Jill Gateman as co-heads of U.S. Commercial Banking, replacing Chris Giamo, who retired earlier this year.
In the newly established positions, Bregenzer and Gateman will jointly lead all areas of the Commercial Bank in the U.S.
Bregenzer will focus primarily on leading all aspects of the Regional Commercial Bank, including small business. Gateman will lead TD Bank’s National Commercial Bank effort, including middle market, sponsor-backed finance and TD’s other specialty lending lines of business. Gateman will also continue to partner with TD Securities and TD Cowen to focus on delivering advisory and investment banking services to TD’s Commercial Banking clients and prospects.
“Andy and Jill bring vast experience across all aspects of business and commercial banking, making them uniquely qualified to lead our Commercial Bank,” Leo Salom, CEO and president, TD Bank, said. “Both are established leaders who have dedicated their careers to supporting clients, using their deep industry expertise to offer strategic and trusted advice.”
Bregenzer has been in commercial banking for nearly 30 years, with the past two decades at TD. Since 2016, he has served as executive vice president, regional president, for TD’s New York Metro, which includes New York state, as well as the regions of northern New Jersey and Fairfield County, Connecticut.
Gateman joined TD in 2023 to lead TD’s Middle Market, Asset-Based and Sponsor-Backed Finance business segments, where she drove increased market penetration and expanded national coverage. Prior to joining TD, Gateman spent 17 years at PNC Bank as executive vice president and co-head of Corporate Banking.
