“It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I write this recommendation for Mr Rajeeb Rashid as my mentor during the HSBC x Soliya mentorship program, which took place over the summer of 2022. Throughout the three months we worked together, Mr Rashid displayed unwavering dedication and guidance, helping me overcome insecurities and providing invaluable support in dealing with challenges, obstacles, and problems.

His approachability and openness allowed me to feel comfortable sharing my concerns and fears, fostering an environment of trust and support. His genuine interest in my growth and well-being reassured me that I was in capable hands. One of the most impactful aspects of Mr Rashid's mentorship was his exceptional active listening skills. He attentively listened to my thoughts and feelings, validating my experiences and acknowledging my insecurities without judgment. This empathetic approach enabled me to express myself freely, empowering me to confront and address my concerns head-on. His guidance and willingness to share his own experiences were truly invaluable. His personal anecdotes and examples of how he navigated challenges in his career provided me with essential perspectives. These insights not only gave me hope but also served as a source of inspiration, knowing that overcoming obstacles is possible with the right mindset and perseverance. Throughout the program, Mr Rashid helped me set realistic and achievable goals. Breaking down larger objectives into manageable tasks made my journey less daunting. His guidance in this process ensured that my efforts were focused and purposeful, leading to steady progress and growth over time. I appreciate the constructive feedback offered on my progress. His feedback was always insightful and delivered in a supportive manner. Knowing that Mr Rashid believed in my potential motivated me to push my boundaries and embrace continuous improvement. Mr Rashid's encouragement of self-reflection proved instrumental in my personal development. By prompting me to examine my insecurities and challenges critically, he empowered me to cultivate self-awareness and develop strategies to tackle these issues effectively. This newfound sense of self-awareness has had a profound impact on my confidence and ability to face adversities. Finally, I cannot thank Mr Rashid enough for his dedication as my mentor. His guidance, wisdom, and genuine care have been instrumental in my growth and development. The strategies and techniques he employed throughout our mentorship have equipped me with essential skills to navigate life's challenges confidently. I wholeheartedly recommend Rajeeb Rashid as a mentor to anyone seeking guidance and support on their personal or professional journey.”

“Rajeeb is a strong communicator with an ability to reach out and influence various stakeholders in a project. He shows good maturity and is able to articulate complex issues in a way that informs senior stakeholders. He also has excellent knowledge of initiating and managing change across complex Operations.”

“Rajeeb has been invaluable in leading the Trade and Supply Chain Re-Org Project on behalf of Bangladesh Commercial Banking Trade Business. It was not only about an internal reorganisation initiative but also an IT, Admin, Real Estate and HR project, a very timley and critical work for Bangladesh Commercial Banking growth in HSBC. He has the aptitude of overall Banking functions in the context of Change management and that paid it well. I recommend him in Project advisory roles and wish him the very best.”
