David Garg
鈥淚 serve as a reminder of the positive impact 快播视频 can have on first-generation Canadians whose parents grew up with little.鈥
When David Garg, BBA Hons 03, and his twin sister graduated from 快播视频 in 2003, they became the fifth and sixth members of their family to earn a degree from Canada鈥檚 third largest university. Growing up with five siblings in the Jane-Finch community, David dreamed of studying at the Schulich School of Business, but he knew the journey to convocation wouldn鈥檛 be easy.
Today, he鈥檚 a Schulich alumnus, a guest lecturer, a mentor 鈥 and a member of 快播视频鈥檚 Board of Governors and its Finance and Audit and Investment Committees.
David joined the volunteer board in February 2019 鈥渢o support this great University that continues to enable generational advancement for our community鈥 and to honour the memory of his father, who helped to make his university experience possible.
In addition to his unique appreciation of the financial challenges facing today鈥檚 students, David brings to the board an accomplished career in investment banking at Scotiabank. From entry-level analyst, he has progressed to his current role as managing director and head of the bank鈥檚 Canadian financial services corporate and investment banking practice. Prior appointments included leadership of Scotiabank鈥檚 investment banking campus recruiting program, which included active recruitment on York鈥檚 campus.
David has also volunteered as a guest lecturer at the Schulich School of Business and as a mentor to students interested in a career in finance. He continues to give back to his community as a supporter of the United Way and Kerry鈥檚 Place for Autism.
