Alumni Stories: Razin Rahman, A finance expert and Fintech enthusiast wanting to gain insights on the latest Fintech evolution

Razin, who is from Bangladesh, did his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering in India and has worked in Russia and now working in the UK for the last 4 years. He recently joined FIBR UK, a Fintech conglomerate as the Head of Products. The group primarily provides IaaS and SaaS services to SME businesses in the UK and Netherlands.

“The Fintech Specialisation course has given me an insight into the evolution of the Fintech industry and how it is shaping up.”
Razin Rahman, Head of Products at FIBR UK

CFTE: What motivated you to learn about Fintech?

Razin: Although I have been in the banking and finance industry for many years, keeping my eyes on the trends, I realised that I lacked a deeper understanding of how technology is enabling the industry to deliver age-old products and services with such high efficiently or how the industry is able to churn out a whole range of market disruptive products at such pace. I am curious by nature, and I had to learn more.

CFTE: Could you tell us a little bit more about how your career has progressed over the past couple of years? How has the course supported your career development and transition into your current position?

Razin: I started my career in financial services consulting back in 2004 with PwC in Moscow. After 6 years in PwC, I had worked in banks and a few boutique consulting houses. In 2017, I moved to the UK and landed a job in the wholesale industry followed by an interesting project with Amazon. But I always knew finance is my home and fintech is where I wanted to be. I took the course with CFTE to bridge the knowledge gap and I am happy that I made this choice.

CFTE: What are your main takeaways from the course?

Razin: The course has given me an insight into the evolution of the fintech industry and how it is shaping up. It has also allowed me to have a peek into the mindset of the amazing people who are contributing to the exponential growth of this industry.

CFTE: Thank you for your time! Before you go, could you describe yourself in 3 words or less?

Razin: Adventurous, persistent and resilient
