TD Cowen Culture
Our culture. Our collaboration. Our client centricity. These are the stories we tell each day in everything we do.
Our commitment to Outperform is a mainstay of our culture. Below are some of the stories we tell to encourage, inspire and honor those who make a difference.
The positive work environment is what helps me Outperform on behalf of our clients. Even though some days can be stressful, I sincerely enjoy working with my colleagues.
Five years ago, my career path led me to TD Cowen, where I am an IT Director for Sales and Trading. The positive work environment is what helps me Outperform on behalf of our clients. Even though some days can be stressful, I sincerely enjoy working with my colleagues. We are genuinely supportive of each other, which helps us bring our best—to Outdeliver on expectations. But it’s not just the work. I’m also energized every day because of the social consciousness of our senior leadership and our firm’s vision to make a difference as we become more inclusive. I am proud to be part of the family!
That’s what it was like to Outperform during the pandemic—and I’m proud of what my colleagues and I accomplished.
Since joining the firm in May 2019, part of my role has been to find ways that our Investment Bank can improve its technology. For example, soon after I arrived, I began working on a new disaster recovery plan for our bankers, including to equip them to continue daily operations from home or a remote site. By February 2020, we had a fully mobile and cloud-based environment. Then came March—and TD Cowen offices went into lockdown because of Covid. My supervisor and I were the last ones in the office. As we walked toward the elevators, I said, “We are ready.”
For the next 2 years, I continued to help bankers acclimate to the new work-at-home environment, providing support from early morning till late at night—7 days a week. Always on-call, providing support, training, ordering needed equipment, orienting new hires to the new norm. That’s what it was like to Outperform during the pandemic—and I’m proud of what my colleagues and I accomplished.
