Meet the speakers
Daniel Hayashi
Manager, Recruitment & Admissions
My career journey has taken me from Latin America, where I worked on expanding brands globally, to roles in Australia and Canada, where I’ve focused on student recruitment, marketing, and admissions. I hold a Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, along with degrees in Strategic Management, Economics, Marketing, and Digital Design. This global experience and diverse background drive my passion for helping students find the right academic path, particularly within the Master of Business Analytics (MBAN) and MBA+MBAN programs. I am deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment at UBC Sauder.
Beth Tsz Huen Bai
UBC MBAN Student Ambassador
Hi everyone! This is Beth! After earning my bachelor’s degree from the City University of Hong Kong and spending two years working in mainland China, I discovered my passion for data analysis while at an ed-tech company. This experience led me to the Master of Business Analytics program, where I've found the journey both rewarding and adventurous. I'm here to help with any questions you might have about the program or campus life. Feel free to connect for insights or discussions!
Chetan Sarda
UBC MBAN Student Ambassador
I specialize in digitalization and data science, with a background in engineering. My professional journey has taken me through roles as a drivetrain engineer, Six Sigma facilitator, and digitalization consultant across India, Nigeria, and Canada. These unique experiences among varied individuals have shaped my perspective to embrace diversity and support DEI, which is one of the main reasons I chose UBC. Sauder has provided me with a nurturing and encouraging environment for learning and personal growth. As an ambassador, my goal is to improve myself and empower everyone while making meaningful contributions to the community.
Percy Chukwudi
UBC MBAN Student Ambassador
My journey, which includes an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) and an MSc in Information Technology, has evolved into a passion for using analytics to drive business decisions and innovation. I chose Sauder because the curriculum perfectly blends business and analytical approaches to solving real-world problems. Although I am seldom on the pitch, I consider myself one of the best non-pro centre-backs (CBs) you will find - I derive so much fun from playing and watching football. Coming to Vancouver, I fell in love with one exercise I always hated: hiking.
