Dean Chamberland

Vice President, Leo Award Winner, Strategic Scaling Advisor, Moderator, Board Member.

I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING AN IMPACT . . . and I love working with people, building trusted relationships, and find real satisfaction in solving problems together. That’s why I’m proud to have been invited to build, launch, and scale the RBCx platform from its inception. This opportunity to empower Canada’s most daring innovators and visionaries was in recognition of my success in building the highest-revenue tech portfolio in Western Canada, generating over $10.5M annually by tripling the book of business to $740M. Recognizing potential ahead of the curve, I established the leading cleantech practice in the West, leveraging skills in business development and strategic networking, and a passion for driving positive change. My leadership in the sector is demonstrated through organizing industry events, moderating insightful discussions with founders and thought leaders, and fostering collaboration across the community. Cleantech Accelerator Foresight has invited me to serve as both a panelist and a Foresight50 judge. I’ve also partnered with the Burnaby Board of Trade to help build the 2024 Clean Energy Summit, while providing industry insights to organizations like Fortis Energy, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), BDO, and others. In addition, as a member of the Advisory Board at SFU’s School of Sustainable Energy Engineering, I help guide the next generation of innovators. I’m honoured to have earned the BC Peer Mentor Award for training new hires, and my outstanding sales and teamwork have also been recognized with the RBC Convention Cruise in 2006 and again in 2019, receiving the prestigious Leo Award in 2020, the bank's highest recognition for excellence. Constantly learning, adapting, and striving for personal growth, I welcome opportunities to collaborate. If you see a way we could work together, feel free to reach out!
