Bank of Maldives

Introduction

Every founder reaches a moment when the business can only grow as fast as the people behind it. I’m a seasoned Human Resource Practitioner, and I believe a founder’s greatest advantage is not the idea alone, but the people who bring it to life. My work has been shaped by Maldives’ entrepreneurial landscape. At Business Center Corporation, the State-Owned Enterprise leading MSME development, I led human resources and later steered its Training Institute, helping entrepreneurs move from aspiration to execution and contributing to national entrepreneurship initiatives. I have worked alongside executive leaders to curate culture and shape people development strategies, seeing how the right people decisions help ventures thrive. Today, as People Development Manager at Bank of Maldives and an Executive Committee Member of the Maldives Association of Human Resource Professionals, I mentor founders who want to build organisations people are proud to belong to.
