Mastercard has announced the appointment of Zakia Sultana as Country Manager for Bangladesh, effective immediately.
Zakia succeeds Syed Mohammad Kamal, who will retire from Mastercard later this year after an illustrious 13 years with the company, says a press release.
She will report to Sandun Hapugoda, Group Country Manager overseeing Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Over the past decade, Kamal played a supporting role in expanding Mastercard's presence in Bangladesh and strengthening the foundations of its digital payments ecosystem.
Building on this progress, Zakia will focus on the next phase of Mastercard's market engagements. Zakia has been working with Mastercard since 2015.
During her tenure, she has supported key financial inclusion initiatives and business development efforts that have expanded Mastercard's footprint and strengthened partnerships across the country. Zakia brings more than 26 years of experience across telecommunications, financial services and large-scale transformation programmes.
