Vikrant Sood shared thisIt is always heartening to be recognized and feel valued at a place that so many extremely talented and inspiring people call home. It is even more motivating to be shown that grace within one’s very first year of tenure itself. Robin Stewart, thank you for being a stellar leader whom I can handily look up to. Aamir, Hassan, Alanna, Sean, Besmira, Ryan, Marcia, Deirdre, and everyone on the team, thank you for being such positive role models and colleagues. Here’s hoping we continue making everyone proud.

Vikrant Sood shared thisSo grateful (and proud) to have joined my colleagues today to walk in support of youth mental health at the BMO #WalkSoKidsCanTalk for Kids Help Phone - because every young person deserves to be heard, supported, and never alone. This is especially close to my heart because as someone who grew up with OCD in a country where mental health support was not ubiquitous during the 90’s (though so heartening to see that things have aince changed for the better), I solemnly support the initiative around providing kids and teens a confidential, free, and kind hand of guidance. I was fortunate to have a very supportive and understanding family to hold my hand through all the tics, hums, and OCD ‘rituals’ as a kid. But it isn’t lost on me that not everybody has that luxury. If you know of any young person in need of guidance, help, or just an ear, please spread the word. I am personally in awe of the work KHP has done and the stories they have been generous enough to share. Their commitment to this and BMO’s support are indubitably inspiring. Hope it continues to help many more children in need of someone to talk to. You are not alone. http://spr.ly/604120eBx. #BMOGrowTheGood #ProudToWorkAtBMO #BMOWalksforGood #WalksoKidsCanTalk #KidsHelpPhone #BMO #MentalHealthAwareness

Vikrant Sood shared thisWhat a great surprise to have received this honor for the second time! The last 5 weeks have felt simultaneously like a Herculean lift and an exercise in discovering what unyielding collaboration can do when teammates trust and care about each other. There is nothing more rewarding than camaraderie and genuine relationships. It is unarguably the USP of corporate life in my mind. Sarah Coram, CPA, CA, lara treiber, thank you so much for this wonderfully gracious gesture. Jamie M., Matthew Williams, Afaq Raja, Ajay Dawani, Catherine (Caty) S., Dylan Federman, Benjamin Rawlings — thank you for being the greatest A-team ever and for being the ensemble I can count on without hesitation. You are all rock-solid future leaders and I can’t wait to see what your careers have in store. I accept this on behalf of our A-team as a collective pat on all our backs. As always, thank you Liz Fennessey, Davy Sohi, Simon King for empowering your employees and giving us some lofty footsteps to follow in. #Team #Deloitte #ThankYou #EverydayGratitude #GoldDot #People #AwardForExcellence #Big4 #NorthAmerica #ManagementConsulting #MergersAndAcquisitions #Consulting #GoTeam #MakingAnAimpactThatMatters

Vikrant Sood shared thisSo humbled to have received the Gold Dot Award from the M&A Consulting team at Deloitte. In addition to being an incredible surprise to help wrap up my first year at Deloitte, it is especially an honor to be recognized by the very team that boasts some of the smartest and, more importantly, most collaborative people I have had the pleasure of working with in my career thus far on both sides of the border. The fine print states that typically, this award is given to 'individuals' who have gone 'relentlessly gone above and beyond'. However, this is merely a reflection of the wonderful people I have the good fortune of calling my peers (and leaders) who have enabled me (us) to deliver exceptional work while maintaining great work life balance and prioritizing our physical and mental health. To me, this is for the team! Special shoutout to Liz Fennessey, Lynn Robinson, Victor Reyes, Omar Saadat, Davy Sohi, Simon King, Mehdi Moaveni, and many others, for being class acts and upstanding examples of leaders that we can all learn so much from. Additionally, thank you, Lucas Montes Soza, for being an all around awesome person to work with. 😊 So grateful for all of you and looking forward to another amazing year! #Deloitte #ThankYou #EverydayGratitude #GoldDot #People #AwardsForExcellence #Leaders #MergersAndAcquisitions #Consulting #GoTeam #WorkLifeBalance #MakingAnImpactThatMatters

Vikrant Sood shared thisThank you for sharing, Davy Sohi! What a great read and how very pertinent to the post-COVID landscape. Building resilience against unforeseen change(s) should be every company's top priority going forward. This is indeed the right kind of Darwinism— being not necessarily the strongest or the most cutthroat enterprise but one that is most adaptable to change.Vikrant Sood shared thisOur latest article in the WSJ explores offensive and defensive frameworks for leaders reimagining their #MnA strategies.

Looking back, what stands out most isn’t just the milestones or the opportunities—it’s the incredible people. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside amazing colleagues, inspiring leaders, trusted partners, and mentors who have challenged me, supported me, and helped shape both my career and who I am as a person. Thank you to everyone who has shared their knowledge, encouragement, and friendship along the way. BMO has given me opportunities to learn, grow, give back to our communities, and build relationships that I truly value. I’m grateful to be part of a team that genuinely cares about making a difference for our customers and for each other. Here’s to the memories we’ve created over the past 11 years, and to whatever comes next. Thank you, BMO, and to everyone who’s been part of this journey. 💙 #BMOversary #ProudtoworkatBMO

Vikrant Sood liked thisVikrant Sood liked thisAs the year comes to an end, and my first semester as a Columbia Engineering grad student concludes, I’m filled with gratitude. Reflecting on my recent studies, I feel a growing sense of agency in the climate space. This semester, I’ve completed multiple collaborative projects with respect to carbon management, storage, and utilization. I’ve independently researched and presented topics ranging from fusion energy to solvent selection for point source capture to the emerging potential of metal organic frameworks for CO2 adsorption. I’m thrilled at the opportunity to work with my outstanding peers in this program and to contribute to cutting-edge research and topics. I look forward to continuing this thrilling journey in the upcoming year.

Vikrant Sood reacted on thisVikrant Sood reacted on thisAnd while I’m on the topic of healthcare, It’s Nurses Week! My daughter Alycia is a nurse (formerly at St.Mikes in Neuro/Trauma, now Kingston General ICU) and I know how hard she works, so I want to recognize the profound sacrifices all nurses make every day. They work long, physically demanding shifts, frequently nights, weekends, and holidays, while missing family milestones, personal time, and rest, all to ensure patients receive compassionate care around the clock. Their humans and many endure emotional exhaustion from witnessing suffering and loss, exposure to illness and trauma, and the constant pressure of high-stakes decisions, sometimes at great cost to their own mental and physical health. Their quiet dedication and willingness to put others first, even during crises like the pandemic, represent a level of selflessness that strengthens entire communities. Thank you to every nurse for the sacrifices you make……you are the steady hands and caring hearts holding so much together.

Vikrant Sood liked thisVikrant Sood liked thisI’m excited to share that I’ve accepted the challenge and will be stepping onto the runway this Spring as a model in the Diabetes Canada Pump Couture Fashion Show! Pump Couture is more than a fashion show — it’s a national movement to change the conversation about living with diabetes and help improve the quality of life for people living with diabetes every day. As part of my participation, I’m also fundraising in support of Diabetes Canada’s D-Camps, medically supported camps for children and teens living with type 1 diabetes. These camps give kids the chance to feel included, build confidence, learn independence, and connect with others who truly understand what they’re going through. A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes changes a child’s life — and with your help, we can change it for the better. Here are two ways you can support me: 1) Donate to my model fundraising page Help me reach my fundraising goal and support D-Camps. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eJSpQjhD 2) Purchase tickets to attend Pump Couture Come cheer on the runway and be part of this incredible night. Tickets: diabetes.ca/pumpcouture No matter what you’re able to give — big or small — it truly makes a difference, and I’m so grateful for your support. Thank you for being part of my journey!

Much-needed step for Canada’s payment system. Expanding direct access to Payments Canada’s core rails and modernizing its infrastructure will spur competition and empower fintechs to build faster services. In spirit, it echoes the 1990s utility restructuring in the US that opened transmission access and enabled the entry of tech-forward independent power producers.
