My career has spanned audit and advisory (ACNABIN, affiliate of Baker Tilly International), finance transformation (BRAC-AARONG, Mundipharma Bangladesh), and leadership roles at GCPL, where I progressed from CFO- Bangladesh to CFO- SAARC to CFO-SAARC & Internal Business.Recognized consistently for delivering impact, I have led finance teams that won GCPL Global Finance Awards, including Best Business Partner of the Year (FY25) and Compliance Award. Personally, I have been honored with the Best Function Award (Finance) and the Godrej Values Award, reflecting both functional excellence and leadership integrity.Professional credentials include FCA (ICAB, Bangladesh), ACA (ICAEW, UK), FCMA (ICMAB, Bangladesh), and BBA & MBA from the University of Dhaka.I believe the modern CFO is more than a custodian of numbers — they are a strategic business partner, change leader, and custodian of values.
