Teddy previously served as Managing Director, Advisor Channel Sales, Business Development for Central Canada at RBC Global Asset Management. Over a decade in this role, he led up to 16 sales professionals, delivering mutual funds, ETFs, and hedge fund solutions while helping to grow net sales for this business line.  As part of the leadership team, Teddy played a key role in accelerating growth, increasing market share and professionalizing the advisor channel sales organization.
