Daniel Hayashi
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.
Rodrigo Porto
As the Director of Recruitment and Admissions for the UBC Sauder School of Business Graduate degrees since 2018, I have led strategic initiatives that have strengthened the school’s global reputation while proportionating career and life-changing opportunities for UBC Sauder future alumni. I bring extensive people-focused and digital transformation experience in entrepreneurial, corporate, and higher education environments with experiences spanning South and Latin America, Europe, Asia, and North America. I’m passionate about career coaching and empowering individuals to become better versions of themselves. A personal goal of mine is to visit 60 countries - I’m currently at 51 and welcome suggestions for cool places to visit worldwide.

Meet our student ambassadors
Beth Tsz Huen Bai
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
Hello! I am Chetan, an MBAN student at UBC. 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
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.
