Leading Women of MGH - Azizun Karim Khan Samantha

-

Azizun Karim Khan Samantha,
Head of Strategic Planning,
MGH Group



“Being a Marketing and Finance student, I always had aspirations to work in the marketing department. But all of that changed when I joined MGH as a Management Trainee in 2015, for the Strategic Planning department,” said Samantha, Senior Manager and Current Head of the Strategic Planning Department.

MGH has a knack for entrusting new and interesting projects to its employees. As a part of the Strategic Planning Department, from the very beginning, Samantha, therefore, has been part of a diverse range of projects like global network building, retailer hunting, re-structuring business verticals along with creating pinpoints for value addition in service and agent development.

Being somewhat of an introvert, Samantha initially felt a challenge in communicating with various departments and stakeholders of MGH not only in Bangladesh but all over the world. However, now after having spent 4.5 years in the department, her core skills include being a compassionate but strict leader besides being a team player anyone can rely on.

Samantha’s success comes from facing new challenges with a positive attitude, a skill she developed in her journey with MGH so far. Whenever faced with a challenge, rather than getting caught up in the process, she focuses on the end result to accomplish her goals.

At MGH, leadership roles have never been assigned based on gender but rather the dedication and hard work of its employees which is why Samantha believes it is the perfect organization for anyone to start their career and as long as they stay confident and open to new challenges, nothing will be able to stop them from being successful.

Prior to proceeding further, lets step back and have an overall look at the entire Shipping Process for Sea Shipments and understand the different parties involved, their roles and the stages in the process in which they are involved. The Players The four key players amongst various others involved in any sea shipment are – Shipper, Consignee, Freight Forwarder and Shipping Line .

Shipping cargo from one place to another can be a very big task and usually involves millions of dollars. Therefore, in order to have a smooth operation, it is very important to have a proper plan in place to avoid any unnecessary hassles. Perhaps the most important part of the plan is to choose the right logistics partner as they will not only transport the cargo from one place to another but make sure it is done within time and with utmost care. When choosing a logistics partner, it is important to seek out a company that has sufficient experience in handling large amounts of cargo. Since handling such assignments require a lot of calculation and different transportation partners specialized for different types of cargo, and only large companies with financial stability and experience can smoothly run such operations on a daily basis. Another factor to consider is incoterms, which contain the commercial agreement that specifies who is in charge of the care and custody of
