S. M. NAJMUL HASAN
Compliance Manager
House No 72, Road No 10, Sector 10, Uttara, Dhaka
Summary
A motivated and articulate professional with a strong 17-year career as a CR professional in RMG industries. Charismatic with a natural aptitude for collaboration, bringing an outstanding international network supported by fluency in English and Bangla. Familiarity with Ready-Made Garments industries since 2007 made me confident in knowing about the overall sectoral development sound, while also enabling me to identify the crucial issues both at the local and global supply-chain phenomena. Having more than 2000 auditing experiences (at Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, China & Turkey) in RMG, Textile, Leather & Shoes industries on behalf of different companies including 3rd party audit firm and Buying house, my vision is to identify more sustainable values through in-depth analysis, rather than merely emphasizing short-term engagement.
