She has more than 30 years of experience in both the U.S. and Canada and will also serve as the president of Manulife Bank.

Boshart has spent over a decade at TD Bank in several executive positions, and was most recently the senior vice president and head of customer engagement platform.

She served as a senior executive at U.S. lender Chase Bank before joining TD Bank.
