Cofounder, ROLLN
UQ qualifications
Bachelor of Business Management / Bachelor of Science 2005, Master of Commerce 2007
David Tam cofounded ROLLN, a sushi takeout concept in New York City, after ten years in the banking industry.
After completing a dual Bachelor of Business Management/Bachelor of Science in 2005 followed by a Master of Commerce in 2007, David joined ANZ’s Corporate Banking graduate program as an Assistant Manager.
Three years later he joined the ANZ Generalist Bankers program where he undertook two years of international banking training followed by postings in Hong Kong and New York on various assignments.
One of the highlights of David’s career so far was to cofound ROLLN in 2018 with a friend and fellow UQ graduate.
For David, one of the best aspects of his experience at UQ was the people he met and connections he made – like his friend and cofounder of ROLLN – which have continued long after he graduated.
His advice to new graduates is, “Go for it. You’ll be surprised at the opportunities that are out there if you are willing to take them. Ask questions and be very curious.”
In his free time, David enjoys cooking, music, travel, reading, investments and mixed martial arts.
