David Wan
VP, Finance & Corporate Development
Sharp, inventive and astute, David is a natural problem-solver. Hailing from the University of Alberta with an Accounting degree in Business Management, David has honed his craft by learning how to identify the bigger picture. His experience working for renowned firms has shaped his approach to working with clients, successfully helping him to support them through growth, acquisition and ownership transitions. Now adding a CFA designation to his list of impressive credentials, David is no stranger to structuring deals and overseeing negotiations.
In his new role at IKPN, David brings his strategic mindset and holistic approach to ensure our partners are able to keep growing in the most sustainable way possible. When he’s not liaising with our partners, you can find David spending quality time with his family, and getting in tune with his classical roots on the violin and piano.
Vikram Seth
CEO & Founder
Vik is the guy in the office who knows a thing or two about any topic. Try him. He’s guaranteed read an article about whatever obscure Nixon-era political fact, the latest top-secret Silicon Valley tech or NCAA March Madness stat you just googled. He’s the one you’ll really want as your Phone a Friend when a million dollars is on the line.
A cheerful and innovative ideas man who knows how to get moving on a project, Vik likes to stay busy and has been that way since his poli-sci university days when he had a different club meeting almost every day of the week. These days, running the ship at IKPN fills his time—not to mention constantly distracting the staff with his incessant chattiness and non-stop movie trivia—but he gets the itch to travel every so often and is always excited to tick another country off the list.
We can’t wait to meet you.
