Rubaba Dawla Matin



Rubaba Dowla Matin:
Rubaba Dowla matin was a head of Marketing & Deputy Director, Commercial Division, GrameenPhone; one of the leading cell phone company in Bangladesh.She is one of the few leading female executives in the top echelon of the corporate world of Bangladesh. She is a woman of style as well as substance. She said that “There is no such thing as a man’s world. A self-motivated person should never think about gender issues and about any constraints related to gender. She should be positive minded, and believe in dedication, hard work, competency, and performance.” She has received many awards for her outstanding contribution in the field of marketing of the corporate world. Rubaba has been an action-oriented person all her life. Basketball, badminton, golf, you name it, and she knows her game. To be honest, she could have become a lot of other things besides a marketing geek. Recently, she decided to revive her musical passion. 'I am trying to make my son interested in music as well', says the mother of a seven-year old. 'I think parental influence is decisive in a child's upbringing,' she says while talking about her own mother, who is currently working with the Scholastic Enterprise. Her mother is another confident woman who had completed three masters’ degrees with outstanding results. No prize then for guessing where Rubaba gets her motivation from. Despite a demanding job she has her feet set firmly on the ground. She married in her very first year of University. 'I had no plans to get married so soon,' she confesses. But it turned out to be a good challenge to juggle studies and married life. Juggling is something she is naturally good at because she conceived the same year she joined Grameen Phone. After just a three-month break, Rubaba was ready to roll the dice once again. Her husband of eleven years is an Electrical Engineer who is involved in the garments business right now. When asked what has inspired her to be so devoted to her career, she says 'It's the support of my family'. But a sense of independence drives her. As she puts it: 'I never expect support from anyone. The main thing is to prioritize and to give in if one can not excel in everything. Today, she is as busy as ever. This smart career woman has little time for herself but she still makes it a point to meet friends and spend quality time with her son. A woman of style as well as substance, she is someone we have a lot to expect from.
