After an extensive career in the retail sector purchasing soft and hard goods from manufacturers and wholesalers, managing logistics, and working with technology providers, Michele switched to the financial industry eleven years ago. Since that time Third Party Risk has become her passion. Today, Michele leads the Third Party Management Team within Technology who are accountable for TD Bank's Infrastructure, Cloud, and Employee Enablement Vendors, as well as the Enterprise Protect portfolio. She likes to view the services she manages for the Bank quite simply as once you open your laptop or save a file, it is likely you are using a service that Michele's Team buys. On top of that, her Team buys services that keep the Bank's data safe!
