Our Leadership

MEET THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE US FORWARD

Rehan, Founder, watches the operations team like a Mother Hen, while spending hours on idea generation and the phone with the subject matter experts respectively. Brings in the energy and excitement that the rest of the Board badly needs. Always experiments with new projects and future ventures. Previously, a Colonel of Bangladesh Army, served the country for 19 years in various command and staff appointments including the Secret Service of Bangladesh. Despite no business experience, Rehan approached this business with a simple philosophy he articulated many times: “The winning formula is to find out what people want, give it to them and, in doing so, exceed their expectations.” An activist at heart, the conscience-keeper of the Board. Live of the books, by the books, for the books. Maverick. Innovator. Futurist.

Naimul, Co-Founder, as Chief Executive Officer sets and evolves the strategic direction for the company and its portfolio of offerings, while nurturing a strong leadership team to drive its execution. In this role, he manages internal processes as Happy Haat prepares to rapidly accelerate the strategic growth of all of its products under its banner. Additionally, Naimul utilizes his recognized expertise to ensure that team members enjoy a workplace centered on human-design, fostering an inspiring, transparent and sustainable culture that allows team members to do their best work together. Earlier, Naimul was a member of Bangladesh Armed Forces (he retired as a Colonel), where he held several command and leadership positions for 25 years. A serious cat lover who likes to Vape and exercise at the same time. Firmly believes that he is always younger than rest of the board.

Ahmed EBC, Co-Founder, deals with Marketing, Finance and Strategy, while serving as a bridge between the policymakers and the executives - setting direction and running the entire show along with Naimul. Hard to please and inspires calm confidence. He manages the day-to-day operations of the company and leads a dynamic team to maintain the highest standards across the company. He also meticulously provides and prepares budget guidelines, consolidates and analyzes budget files and facilitates budget reviews on behalf of the company. With his vast knowledge and wealth of experience, Ehsan has contributed significantly to the financial health and stability of Happy Haat. He was also the prime mover, CEO of Interstellar Technologies Ltd, which was the largest supplier of ROSATOM Bangladesh, the one and only nuclear power plant of Bangladesh. Before that he led the entire operation of Merits Technologies Ltd, the only company entrusted with the responsibility of installing border surveillance system in Bangladesh-Myanmar Border and was instrumental in scaling up their business capabilities nationwide. He has completed ‘Bachelor of Arts’ in ‘Business Management’ from ‘University of Gloucestershire’ in the year 2012 and ‘Masters of Arts’ in ‘Marketing and Innovation’ from ‘Anglia Ruskin University’ in the year 2015. A magician and singer at heart, the loudest voice of the Board. A rare combination of logophile and aficionado. 

Shahid, Executive Director, oversees direct sales and management of our contract farms and farmers, and ensures that the CEO and Operating Director is busy with constant planning without any break! Additionally, he oversees the development and maintenance of supply chain systems and consults with government regulatory bodies and licensing authorities to ensure compliance with all statutory and legal requirements. Previously, he served as the CEO of Authentic Business and Commerce Ltd, a leading high end watch importer and trader, having built it from the ground up. Shahid holds an MBA degree from the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh. His educational background, coupled with his extensive experience in business and management, equips him with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in his role.He always settle for ‘original’ things only, the unofficial lawyer of the team.

Majbaul Karim, Executive Director, oversees the retailer sales team, and is quite friendly with the CFO, except the issue of finance. Spearheading numerous successful benchmark execution, Opu has consistently demonstrated impressive management skills and operational know-how, generating new initiatives and ideas to efficiently grow the company’s operations. A soft spoken, shy genius but a Champion in Pool.
