But I was still not prepared for what I encountered. The men and women from TBC proved to be unparalleled, both in the level of their complex discussions and in their commitment to innovation. The world should keep its eye on TBC, as its leaders continue to pioneer new approaches to delighting customers and transforming financial services."
