Our People

Leadership & Excellence

The foundation

Board of Directors

Visionary guidance driving a diversified conglomerate — eleven industries held to one standard.

Kazi Shahid Ahmed

Founder & Chairman

A pioneer of modern enterprise in Bangladesh. Kazi Shahid Ahmed founded Gemcon in 1979 and has spent four decades building it into a group of eleven industries.

Kazi Nabil Ahmed

Director

Oversees the group’s strategic growth and expansion, holding operational excellence steady across multiple sectors.

Ameenah Ahmed

Director

Provides oversight for the group’s retail and FMCG businesses, with a focus on sustainable development and social impact.

Governance

How the board works

Three habits that have survived every expansion the group has been through.

One standard, eleven industries

A division is measured against the group standard, not against its own sector’s average. The board reviews each business on the same scorecard.

Long horizons, short reviews

Capital is committed on a decade view and reviewed quarterly. Organic tea took nine years to pay back — and was never up for reversal.

Community on the balance sheet

Every proposal carries its community and environmental cost alongside its return. Responsible business is profitable business.
