With 28 years in financial services, Jenn Ocampo-King’s journey from a high school placement in settlements to Managing Director, Prime Brokerage at TD Securities is a masterclass in intentional career building. From the beginning, she recognized that what would sustain a long and meaningful career was the people. Her team, her clients, her leaders and her family: these relationships became the foundation upon which everything else was built. For Jenn, the moments that have mattered most have been those of collective progress, building alongside talented people, navigating markets through trust, and earning results together.
The power of community equally plays a role in her career. Describing her membership in VersaFi (formerly WCM), she cites, “this community has truly felt like an external board of directors - a place to learn, to grow, to be challenged, and to be supported.”
A 2014 VersaFi Rising Star and 2019 Champion of Change recipient, Jenn believes that leadership has everything to do with presence and less about the title. How you show up. How you listen. How you make the people around you feel seen, supported, and equipped to grow. As Global Co-Chair for Women at TD, she is deeply committed to the structural work of advancing women into executive leadership. Her position is clear: access and sponsorship are strategic imperatives. Opportunity changes trajectories.
Jenn’s advice to those earlier in their career journeys, “This industry is incredibly entrepreneurial. If you’re given the opportunity to be part of a team and business, embrace it fully as any opportunity may change your trajectory. Be curious. Take ownership. Build relationships. You have more power than you think to write your story. You don’t need to be perfect. You only need to be brave enough to try, strong enough to keep going, and authentic enough to be yourself”.
