About

About me

I qualified as a Cost & Management Accountant in December 2011 and have spent around 20 years in finance across commercial and manufacturing enterprises – over a decade in leading local conglomerates and more than seven years in global multinationals. Today I lead finance for Louis Dreyfus Company Bangladesh, a Fortune 500-ranked agro-food merchant. Since qualifying I have been a regular at ICMAB programmes and CPDs, worked closely with every Dhaka Branch Council since 2020, and served the branch as its Treasurer (2024) and as a Council Member (2025 and 2026) – always working towards a knowledge-based DBC with strong ties among members.

  • Strengthen fellowship and social ties across the CMA family
