Tajdin Hassan honoured as ‘Most Transformative C-Suite Leader of the Year’

Md Tajdin Hassan has received the 'Most Transformative C-Suite Leader of the Year' award at the 4th Bangladesh C-Suite Awards, organised by Bangladesh Brand Forum.

The ceremony took place on Saturday at the United Convention Hall in Dhaka.

Md Tajdin Hassan earned this recognition for leading a multidimensional transformation - driving The Daily Star's business reinvention while contributing to broader societal impact. Over the past three years, he has championed a strategic digital shift, modernised revenue and operational frameworks, and delivered consistent digital growth. His reader-engagement initiatives have also earned global appreciation, including recognition from WAN-IFRA (World Association of News Publishers), reflecting his commitment to innovation and audience-led strategy.

Alongside business transformation, Tajdin has played a key role in addressing one of Bangladesh's critical challenges—upskilling. As the COO of Keeron, The Daily Star's edtech vertical, he has led the platform's rapid expansion to 60,000 registered learners in just two years. By providing accessible and industry-relevant learning opportunities, Keeron aims to positively impact people's lives through upskilling and capability-building. The platform has also received international recognition from INMA (International News Media Association) for its innovative approach to diversification, scalability, and contribution to a more sustainable and socially responsive media ecosystem.

Through this combined focus on organisational transformation and societal relevance, Tajdin has demonstrated a modern leadership model—one that integrates business growth with purposeful impact. His people-centric leadership inspires teams to think boldly, take ownership, and drive meaningful progress across the organisation.

This prestigious award recognises leaders who guide transformation with clarity, strategic vision, and creativity—revitalising brands, accelerating digital enablement, and strengthening institutional capability through innovation and a forward-looking mindset. Tajdin's leadership journey reflects these qualities.

Earlier, he served as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Daraz Bangladesh and is an alumnus of the IVLP (International Visitor Leadership Program) of the U.S. Department of State. He has also been honoured by the Asia Marketing Federation (AMF) with the YWN Marketing Excellence Award 2020, being named Asia's Top Outstanding Youth Marketer.
