Afroza Shahin appointed Managing Director of TEAM Group

Afroza Shahin has been appointed as the new Managing Director (MD) of TEAM Group, following the untimely and tragic death of the group’s former MD and her husband, Abdullah Hil Rakib.

The Board of Directors made the announcement on Sunday, as the organisation continues to mourn the loss of Rakib — a visionary leader whose unwavering commitment and dedication played a pivotal role in the growth and success of TEAM Group. 

In a statement, TEAM Group said, “Afroza Shahin’s strength, dedication, and alignment with the company’s vision will help propel the organisation to new heights.”

The board has called upon all stakeholders to work together with unity and cooperation under her leadership, as TEAM Group enters this new chapter.

Afroza Shahin graduated with an MBBS from Sir Salimullah Medical College in 2001, and later received postgraduate training at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.

She married Abdullah Hil Rakib in 1999. Since the inception of TEAM Group, Afroza has served as a Board Director and has also held the position of Managing Director of the group’s lifestyle fashion brand, Twelve Clothing.

At a recent board meeting, the couple’s children — Mahir Daiyan and Lamia Tabassum—were also formally inducted as board members.

Mahir is currently pursuing his studies at Seneca Polytechnic College, while Lamia is undertaking her undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto.

On 8 June, Abdullah Hil Rakib and his friend Captain Md Saifuzzaman Guddu, a pilot with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, tragically died in a boat accident in Canada.
