A Montreal native with a background in finance and data science, Xanthoudakis honed his skills in market analysis and risk management as a strategist for Desautels Capital Management (DCM)’s SRI Fund. He credits the London networking trip and MMF’s collaborative learning environment as key to his growth.
From October 13-17, the McGill Master of Management in Finance (MMF) 2025 cohort visited London to explore one of the world's largest financial hubs. Arthur Deng MMF’25 shares his experience on this week-long trip, which included visits to historical sites, networking events, and meetings with alumni. Students were welcomed at the High Commission of Canada and the Quebec Delegation Government Office, showcasing London's diverse, inclusive culture. The trip highlighted the MMF program's emphasis on global perspectives, preparing students for dynamic careers in finance.
In finance, making money is the name of the game, and financial services professionals have sometimes been sceptical of sustainability goals that could undercut profits. But it doesn’t have to bee that way. “Realizing that financial systems could support environmental goals and sustainability goals inspired me,” says Mitch McEwen (MMF’20). A senior manager in enterprise sustainable finance at TD, leads the bank’s Sustainable Bonds program, and was named to Corporate Knights 30 under 30 for 2024.

The McGill Master of Management in Finance (MMF) has been named the number two program in Canada and is one of the top-20 programs in the world, according to the 2023 QS Business Masters in Finance Ranking.

The recovery from the pandemic created strong demand for products and services, but supply remained weak as a result of supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, and the rising cost of food and oil. Together, these factors have contributed to high inflation, which central banks are fighting by raising interest rates. But some of these factors are beyond the reach of central bank’s efforts, like rising energy prices caused by the war in Ukraine, said Prof. Sebastien Betermier in an interview with CTV News.

Improvements in sustainability are often motivated by a desire to reduce environmental impact, but for the McGill Management Masters Office, friendly competition plays a role too. In 2021, Sustainable Workplace Ambassador Wesley McCoy challenged a colleague to see who could reach Bronze-level Sustainable Workplace Certification first. The Management Masters Office achieved that goal, and then some. It was recently certified at the gold level, and the effort has had a profound impact on work habits in the office, according to Lauren Houghton, also an Ambassador.

After naming McGill Canada’s top university earlier this month, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has ranked Montreal as the most desirable Canadian city to be a student, and one of the most sought-after and praised destinations for international students in the world.
