William Edmund "Ed" Clark (born October 10, 1947) is the former president and chief executive officer of TD Bank Group. Clark was appointed to this role on December 20, 2002. Prior to this appointment, he was president and chief operating officer, a role he held since July 2000. On April 3, 2013, Clark announced his intention to retire as president and CEO effective November 1, 2014 at age 67, after 12 years as CEO. After his retirement, Clark worked as an adviser for Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and helped engineer the highly controversial partial sale of Hydro One, which began in 2015.
Following TD's acquisition of Canada Trust Financial Services in February 2000, Clark joined TD Bank Group as chairman and chief executive officer of TD Canada Trust. In this role he oversaw the successful integration of the TD and Canada Trust banking operations. Before joining TD, Clark was president and chief executive officer of Canada Trust Financial Services.
In 1985, he joined Merrill Lynch, and three years later was appointed chairman and chief executive officer of Morgan Financial Corporation, a position he held until he joined Canada Trust Financial Services Inc. in 1991.
From 1974 to 1984, Clark held a number of senior positions in the federal government. This included helping to develop the contentious National Energy Program, which has been cited as creating significantly negative impacts to both the national deficit and the Western Canadian economy.
Ed graduated from the University of Toronto in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He earned his master's degree and doctorate in economics from Harvard University in 1971 and 1974 respectively. Clark has also received honorary degrees from Mount Allison University, Queen's University, the University of Western Ontario, University of Toronto, York University, and Ryerson University.
