Followed by Leaders Across Bay Street
In Conversation with Robbie Pryde
We sat down with Robbie Pryde, CEO of Forthlane Partners. He grew up on a family farm in southwestern Ontario before studying economics at Huron University College and beginning his career in finance. Robbie started at Nesbitt Burns, went on to co-found Newcrest Capital, which was acquired by TD Securities in 2000, and then spent more than two decades at TD in senior roles, helping lead and grow the dealer as it evolved into a more client-focused, diversified wholesale platform. In 2024, he joined Forthlane Partners, where he now serves as CEO.
