Respected business leader and U of T Engineering alumnus Som Seif (IndE 9T9) is profiled in the September 12 issue of the Globe and Mail.

In the interview, Seif described his approach to the business world as well as how his engineering background led to his work in finance.

Students will soon have an opportunity to hear from Seif directly, when he participates in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering’s Engineering Entrepreneurship Lectureship Series.

The series aims to educate U of T students about entrepreneurial opportunities outside of the classroom.

In recent years, Seif has enjoyed tremendous success building Claymore Investments Inc. – Canada’s second-largest provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) – into a company with $6.5-billion in assets under management, over a six-year period.
