The New Jersey Pride Chamber of Commerce (NJPCC) announced the election of Victor Peter Rodriguez, resident of Bloomfield Township in Essex County, to its Board of Directors.
Victor Peter Rodriguez is the Vice President Store Manager III at TD Bank in the Western Bergen Passaic Region of New Jersey. Touting the motto of America’s Most Convenient Bank, TD is one of the 10 largest banks in the U.S., with a full range of retail, small business, and commercial banking products and services. TD Bank is a proud Corporate Partner of the NJPCC.
Rodriguez’s region currently supports the banking needs in New Jersey.
“We are very pleased to welcome Victor Peter to our Board of Directors. His extensive experience in helping to serve the public from all walks of life and his familiarity with operations management will allow us to broaden our membership reach,” said Gus Penaranda, the Executive Director of NJPCC.
As an NJPCC board director, Rodriguez will facilitate and record the chamber’s executive board meetings and oversee the updating of the organizational policies, procedures, and office policy manuals.
“Over the years, I have learned that anyone can bring lasting change to a community through hard work and creating opportunities to give back. Celebrating diversity has been the cornerstone of my career. I’m very proud to support our LGBT+ business owners and allies,” said Rodriguez.
On the Board of NJPCC Rodriguez will have the requirements and experience needed as a meeting facilitator, having fulfilled exceptional roles in the field of management, including his prior experience as a Business Manager for the fashion house brand Christian Dior and Vice President for Senior Licensed Cluster Branch Manager at HSBC Bank. Rodriguez coaches and develops his team and ensures ongoing training, performance management, and talent development in his current managing role at TD Bank.
Originally from Guayaquil, Ecuador, Rodriguez is fluent in Spanish — an invaluable skill set as NJPCC is actively working to attract and support the community. Rodriguez graduated from Baruch College in 2004 with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in International Marketing Management.
