About Me

Who the heck am I

Qayyum Rajan, CFA (‘Q’) sits at the intersection of finance and technology, as an avid economist, data scientist and technology executive.

Q began his career in banking, portfolio management and investment funds before entering the programming and data science world. He was then bitten by the entrepreneurship bug and went on to co-found a global fintech company which focused on automating securities issuance using blockchain technology.

Subsequently, he joined the digital and emerging technologies consulting division at one of the big 4, before becoming the founder and CEO of ESG Analytics, a startup that focuses on applying AI to the environmental, social and governance industry.

Qayyum is a CFA Charterholder and was recent recepient of the top 30 under 30 award in British Columbia. He also sits on the Fintech advisory committee for the BC Securities Commission (BCSC).

Q has a natural curiosity for the world around us and for applying technology to create efficiencies and new opportunities.

Why the fox? I consider myself a "trickster" and the fox is symbolic of this. Tricksters like to disrupt and mess with industries - usually the things of legends ;)

What people say about me

Testimonials

Qayyum has an impressive set of abilities that we don’t always see in combination: he is both a visionary and a builder, both highly analytical and highly personable. I was fortunate to meet Qayyum when we collaborated on a joint research project with the University of British Columbia (UBC) and iComply Investor Services in 2017. Since then, he has been a trusted collaborator and source of insights for my courses on emerging technologies at UBC for graduate and MBA students. Qayyum has a remarkable aptitude for seeing the connections between new technologies and business, and for applying these to building products in the fintech space. Working with him is constantly enlightening and always fun, and he’d make a great addition to any team he works with.
