He has played an active role in UBC life on the board of alumni UBC, the Board of Governors and the University Senates.

A UBC double alumnus and past president and CEO of HSBC Bank Canada, he will be stepping down from his Chancellor role on June 30 after six years of exemplary service to the university.
