succeed William A. Cooper as chief executive officer effective January
1, 2016. Cooper will remain chairman through 2017.
“After the completion of a thorough succession planning process, the
Board of Directors has unanimously chosen Craig Dahl to lead TCF into
the future,” said Cooper. “The leadership and success Craig has
demonstrated at TCF along with his vast experience in the banking
industry make him the ideal choice.”
Dahl joined TCF in 1999 as president and chief executive officer of TCF
Equipment Finance, Inc. and later was named president and chief
executive officer of Winthrop Resources Corporation. He began serving as
vice chairman of TCF in 2012 and was promoted to president in 2015. Dahl

leadership positions with a major financial services company for 22
years. Dahl holds a bachelor’s degree in political economics from
Princeton University and is a native of International Falls, Minnesota.
“I believe that Craig is the right person to lead TCF going forward,”
said Cooper. “He has been a vital part of TCF’s successes during his
tenure, especially the transformation of the company that has taken
place over the past several years. Craig’s expertise in national lending
platforms is unmatched in the industry and he has already demonstrated
effective leadership across the entire company since being promoted to
president earlier this year. I have every confidence in Craig and look
forward to working with him in the chairman role through 2017.”
“I have been fortunate to work closely with Bill throughout my 16 years
at TCF and have learned much through his leadership,” said Dahl. “Over
the past several years, we have built a superior management team and
made great progress in positioning TCF for the new banking environment.
I look forward to leading this talented and experienced group and
