The gorgeous Zara Mahbub effortlessly pulls off Noir’s stunning collection

Zara Mahbub, Senior Vice President and the Head of Communications and Service Quality at BRAC Bank, seamlessly juggles between her personal and professional life. Nothing is ever so simple, but as a daughter, wife, mother of three and corporate woman, she makes things seem effortless.
She grew up as a rebel, and none of the gender roles or societal norms constrained her from pursuing her dreams. Her parents, phupa, khala and nani were the wind beneath her wings. Zara first started working in her father’s buying house and later shifted to technology by enrolling in website development and designing websites. After completing her MBA from the University of California at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, she returned to Dhaka and joined BRAC Bank and was promoted as the Head of Communication and Service Quality in 2015.
Breaking the stereotypical characteristics of a banker, Zara Mahbub exudes a lively and welcoming aura. Her passion, ambition and tenacious determination, without compromising her integrity or confidence, make her one of the most influential individuals in her field. This is rooted from her very active childhood involved in countless sporting matches. With a je ne sais quoi, she presents a trace of oomph and gravitas that leaves us in awe.
It goes without saying that making an impact in the business world takes plenty of courage, patience and dedication. From fashion and garments to technology to banking, Zara has showcased versatility in every aspect of her career with effective leadership skills. She has become an accomplished business woman and proven that nothing can be achieved by waiting for life to just happen, but by taking matters into our own hands and putting in the necessary hard work to achieve our goals. Zara attributes her achievements to Naveed Mahbub, her partner in progress.
Looking at her track record, there’s no doubt that she enjoys her work immensely. Zara is a part of BRAC Bank Limited, which started its journey by empowering small-scale enterprises in the country, when rarely a few looked into that segment. Zara shares the same motto in life and seeks more challenges to make change and go forward; complacency be damned.
