Meet Abdullah Al Jaber, finance manager

Abdullah Al Jaber was born in Narail and is the finance manager at the Aga Khan Academy Dhaka. Prior to joining the Academy, he served in various organisations such as Lepra Bangladesh, Muslim Aid – UK, International Rice Research Institute and Transparency International Bangladesh, among others.

Through his position, Jaber stated that he aspires to achieve the mission and vision of the Aga Khan Academies by implementing structured financial operations that not only promote financial discipline but also ensure convenience for the Academy’s staff and students.

“In my role, it is crucial to strike a balance between efficiency and effectiveness," Jaber said. “As the finance manager, I look forward to promoting a structured approach to our financial operations, enhancing convenience and transparency for our staff and students.”

Jaber's enthusiasm extends beyond his finance role. He is particularly excited about the Maidan as he regularly participates in sporting activities there.

“The Maidan holds a special place in my heart,” Jaber said. “It is not only a place of excitement for our students but also for me where I can unwind and rejuvenate through sports.”
