TCF Financial names new CEO

Minnesota-based TCF Financial Corp. has named a new CEO.

Vice chairman and president Craig Dahl will succeed William Cooper as CEO on Jan. 1, 2016.

Dahl joined TCF in 1999 as president and CEO of TCF Equipment Finance Inc. He currently oversees six of the company’s lending businesses, retail banking and information technology.

Dahl was the unanimous choice of the board of director, Cooper said. Cooper will remain chairman of the board through 2017.

“I believe that Craig is the right person to lead TCF going forward,” Cooper said. “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.”

TCF has a bank branch and a customer service call center in Sioux Falls.
