[From: MarEngr. Inamul Haq Khan (13/561-E)]
Mahbubul Alam was one of the first few Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA’s) in Bangladesh. He went for it when he was posted in Kuwait by National Bank. During his CFA exams, he faced the Kuwait war, fleeing back home only to face a hurricane/flood. Took his final exams and qualified under very adverse conditions.
He is also an MBA from IBA, DU. And a Marine Engineer prior to that.
From National Bank, Mahbubul Alam moved to Standard Chartered Bank as its CFO. Handled the merger of SCB and Grindlays Bank. Then he moved on to handle the merger of 2 multinational cement companies on a 2 year contract. Later he was the MD of a leasing company from where he took an early retirement. Then started spending his time learning guitar, and he was good at it. Yoga and swimming. And his passion, homeopathy. He was a very good homeopath, practiced free of cost with free medicine.
He was a good soul loved by all who came in contact with his cheerful ever smiling nature. We lost a very good friend. May Allah SWT grant him eternal peace in Jannatul Ferdous. Ameen.
