Rohan Dayal is an MBA candidate at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management with experience in project management, technology commercialization, strategy, and early-stage venture development. Before Rotman, he spent five years at Altec Integrated Solutions managing industrial automation and precision-machinery projects across Canada, the United States, and China, including first-of-a-kind product introductions moving from testing through commercial implementation.

He is currently working with QV Studio, supporting ZaviQ, an early-stage deep-tech venture, on customer discovery, market strategy, pricing, fundraising preparation, and commercialization.

Rohan holds a degree in Environmental Economics from the University of British Columbia. Through the GCFA Accelerator In-Residence Fellowship, he hopes to deepen his understanding of climate finance and innovative financing structures that can help emerging technologies move from technical validation to commercial scale.
