Women in Leadership: Meet Angeline Teo

Angeline Teo
Director, Fixed Income Sales

With more than 10 years of experience in financial markets, Angeline is recognized as a leading fixed income salesperson at TD and within the industry. From the moment she joined, Angeline has had a significant impact on the business as an architect and driver of our regional product and growth strategies. Angeline strives to deliver the best for her clients and is an excellent salesperson, mentor, and team member.

I am a fixed income salesperson covering asset managers, banks and private banks based in Singapore and Hong Kong. Acting as a trusted advisor, I leverage my client relationships, and markets and product knowledge to deliver the best outcomes for TD and its clients. I'm passionate about talent management and have taken leading roles in our intern and graduate recruitment programs. Recently, I have taken on my first direct report and am excited at the experience I will gain taking on this new managerial challenge.

One of life's biggest challenges is adapting to change and how we cope with it defines us. A proud moment was switching from clinical research to the finance industry. It was daunting at first, but I knew I wanted a more dynamic, challenging and fulfilling role. Despite having little background in finance, I dug in, completed a part-time postgraduate finance degree in the evenings and learned on the job (lots of late nights in the office) through many impromptu teachings from colleagues and clients alike. I am blessed to have had good mentors and colleagues encouraging and teaching me throughout my career, and I aspire to pay that forward now.

Laugh heartily. Love freely. Travel widely. Listen keenly. Be open to people. Talk to strangers. Appreciate varying viewpoints. Throw a party. Throw a few more. Check in on others. Check in on yourself. Slow down your pace. Dance in the rain. Enjoy the ride.
