Unilever Bangladesh Limited (UBL) has appointed Ruhul Quddus Khan as its chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director, with effect from November 1.
Ruhul, a career Unilever leader, began his journey with the company in 1996 as a trainee under the Unilever Future Leaders’ Programme at the Kalurghat factory.
Over his 29-year career, he has held leadership roles across supply chain and research and development in both Bangladesh and India, according to a press release.
In recent years, as supply chain director and later as head of customer experience and logistics, he played a key role in shaping UBL’s supply chain into a high-performing and future-fit function, with a focus on customer centricity, data analytics, process automation, and digital transformation.
Ruhul holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology and is regarded as one of the most respected leaders in supply chain and operations in Bangladesh, UBL said.
“Ruhul comes into the role with a great track record of leading transformations, navigating uncertainty, and driving impact for business and the environment,” said Shazia Syed, head of the Pakistan, Turkey, Arabia, and Bangladesh cluster of Unilever.
“His strong knowledge of operations, combined with his passion for people, makes him exceptionally well suited for this role.”
