Fahim H. Rahman

Head of Investments (ex-Consumer)

Mr. Fahim Rahman is the co-founder and managing partner of Noksha Capital (NCAP).

Mr. Rahman began his career in 2006 with Lehman Brothers in M&A Advisory for Healthcare, Retail and Consumer-sector focused companies in the United States and Western Europe. He then progressed to join Pioneer Point Partners, a mid-market European private equity fund focused on expansion capital and buyout investments in the Technology, Media, Telecom, and the Energy and Environment sectors in Western Europe. In 2010, he decided to move away from the financial services world to gain a deeper understanding of operations. He initially joined Gilead Sciences (market leaders in HIV) within the Financial Planning & Analysis team and moved on to work for Hugo Boss Group (then owned by Permira Capital) where his last position was Head of Commercial Strategy for EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) in 2014.

In 2014 he joined New Asia Group, a market-leading apparel manufacturing organization in Bangladesh, as the Executive Director (CEO). During his tenure, he led a business transformation to consolidate the Group’s six legal entities into a singular vertically integrated umbrella organization, which acted as a ‘one-stop shop’ sourcing hub for customers looking for manufacturing solutions across the entire apparel value chain. He created a strong, data-driven decision-making culture and relied heavily on analytical systems to grow the business between 2014 and 2019 (achieving over $1BN in retail equivalent sales).

In 2019, he left New Asia Group to establish NCAP. Outside of NCAP, Mr. Rahman serves as a member of the advisory board of BRAC IT in Dhaka, Bangladesh and a member of the board of directors of Coordinates, an apparel brand based in Atlanta, USA.

Mr. Rahman holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Claremont McKenna College in California, USA.
