About me

12+ Years Turning Supply Chains Into Strategy

Merchandiser · Textile Engineer · Power BI Expert · Data Analyst

I'm a detail-oriented merchandiser with over 12 years of hands-on experience in the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry, delivering results for global brands like H&M and C&A. Blending my textile engineering background with sharp merchandising and data analytics skills, I excel in every stage of the supply chain — from strategic sourcing and product development to supplier management, sales data analysis, and team leadership.

Whether optimising supplier performance, analysing sales trends with Power BI, or driving efficient product lines in denim and beyond, I thrive on turning data into actionable insights and complex challenges into seamless operations. Based in Dhaka, I'm passionate about sustainable sourcing, digital innovation in merchandising, and building high-performing teams in Bangladesh's dynamic RMG sector.
