Zahid has been known to me for more than 20 years. It was in GrameenPhone that he started his career in Distributions. A very structured and organized person. Over the years I have seen him to groom himself for middle management. Zahid again worked with me in Citycell. Living up to expectations, he always delivered on his key responsibilities and met his KPIs. Zahid strength is his ability to foresee and plan. Proceed in an organized manner according to a plan. His inter personnel skills make him an excellent team player and also lead those reporting to him. Stakeholder management is another of his skills. Many a distributors have excellent relationship to benefit thye organization for whom Zahid works for. With his career move to the Mobile Financial Space, he has proved beyond doubt that he can handle new dimensions and products/services equally well. He will need to improve himself in expressing himself more assertively when in meetings with his seniors. Wishing Zahid all the success in the years ahead.
