Commerce, Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) 2023

Rutvik arrived in Canada with a suitcase of dreams and a commitment to building a life of purpose. A BCom (Hons) in Finance graduate from York, he now thrives as a financial analyst at one of the world’s leading marketing firms, where he transforms financial operations into engines of transparency and impact. The leadership lessons Rutvik gained at York fuel his drive to empower others mentoring newcomers and international students, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and capable of building their futures in Canada. His journey is a testament to resilience, service, and using education as a catalyst to create lasting change, embodying York’s mission of righting the future.

York transformed how I see leadership and community. My BCom in Finance gave me the technical edge, but it was the culture of collaboration and service that shaped my purpose. At York, I learned that true leadership means using your skills to uplift others and create meaningful change. Today, as a financial analyst at a top marketing firm, I apply these lessons to build transparent, impactful systems while mentoring newcomers and students to help them find their path in Canada. York didn’t just prepare me for a career it inspired me to use it to empower others and right the future.
