CIC 2026 Tribute

Honouring Amit Goyal

Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, State Bank of India, Canada

Chief Guest · 2026 Best Teacher Award Presentations

Senior Vice President & CFO · State Bank of India, Canada

A senior finance executive whose record outside the bank — community service and mentoring — is what brought him to the CIC 2026 stage.

Mr. Amit Goyal is Chief Financial Officer of State Bank of India, Canada, with more than two decades of senior leadership across four international banks.

He has long supported community nonprofits across the Greater Toronto Area, and has mentored younger finance and accounting professionals throughout his career. Mentoring, he has said, is his passion.

That record explains his presence at the CIC 2026 Award Ceremony in Brampton on May 30, where he personally presented the 2026 Best Teacher Awards to the ten honourees who took the stage.

A CFO of his standing did not have to be there in person. He was.

From a Boardroom, to a Classroom

Mr. Amit Goyal receives the CKSTEM Plaque of Appreciation alongside the CKSTEM team. — The CKSTEM Plaque of Appreciation, presented to Mr. Goyal at CIC 2026.

CKSTEM presented Mr. Goyal with its Plaque of Appreciation — recognition for an executive whose career has built and audited institutions across three jurisdictions, and who chose to spend the day standing beside the educators who quietly do the same work, classroom by classroom.

Twenty years of finance leadership — treasury, compliance, operations, audit — teaches an executive how patient capital becomes a school, a hospital, a community. The teachers honoured this year build that same patient capital in a different ledger: a year of preparation, a year of feedback, a year of belief. Amit's presence on the stage was not a courtesy. It was a recognition of the work in its own currency.
