No stranger to the banking industry, Abrar has close to 30 years of experience in corporate and investment banking. He has achieved many successes throughout his career, including setting up the first “Syndication and Structured Finance” business in Bangladesh (for the then ANZ Grindlays Bank) along with the successful closure of milestone transactions in the Energy and Power, Infrastructure, Telecom, Aviation, Domestic and Export-oriented industries.

Abrar’s banking journey has brought him to countries such as India, the UK and Bangladesh, where he first joined the Bank in 2011 as Head of Corporate and Institutional Clients. He rose through the ranks and was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bangladesh in 2015. Under his leadership, he transformed the business of the franchise and positioned Standard Chartered as the most respected and profitable Bank in the country before assuming his current position in November 2017.

Prior to joining Standard Chartered Bangladesh, he was the Managing Director and Head of Global Corporate and Commercial Banking at Citibank NA in Bangladesh as well as Head of Specialist Finance and Advisory Services at ANZ Grindlays Bank.
