About Me
I craft purpose-driven narratives that inspire action and elevate brands. With over 20 years of global experience spanning corporate, nonprofit, and agency landscapes, I translate complex ideas into strategic stories that spark engagement, from internal communications and executive visibility to social impact and brand transformation. I’ve led communications for global giants such as Singapore Telecom, Nestlé, and McCann World Group; reimagined inclusion narratives at the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC) and national institutions like the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC); and shaped campaigns that align purpose with performance. Whether mentoring future leaders or steering award-winning initiatives, I build stories that resonate and relationships that endure.
Let’s turn vision into voice—and communication into impact.

I had the privilege of mentoring Taslim through the ACCESS Employment Mentorship Program, and More

our connection has continued well beyond the formal timeline—a testament to the kind of professional and person he is.

Taslim brings a rare mix of strategic communications expertise, global experience, and emotional intelligence. Throughout our time working together, I was consistently impressed by his self-awareness, adaptability, and commitment to continuous learning. He never shied away from tough questions and was always eager to seek out broader perspectives.

What truly stands out about Taslim is his ability to translate vision into action. Whether navigating career transitions or pursuing purpose-driven work, he approaches every challenge with clarity, thoughtfulness, and integrity.

Taslim is not only an accomplished communicator—he is a values-based leader, a generous collaborator, and a trusted voice in any team or organization. It’s been a pleasure to support his journey, and I look forward to seeing all that he continues to achieve.

I had the chance to work with Taslim on a project that the Catholic University in Milan was supporting in Bangladesh. More

I represented the University and teamed with Taslim in judging the quality and performance of young talents in Dhaka who were to be considered for attending a Master in Milan.

Over the years experience of working with Taslim was truly great. More

Taslim was successful rallying a big team, very often with teams and groups with conflicting objectives, creating and marketing brands and ideas, from conception through to delivery, and then establishing it in the market/industry. I think many veterans in the industry and myself will always, comfortably and confidently, recommend Taslim’s creativity, people skill, communication, media relation, leadership, organization, meticulousness, negotiation, and a very sharp focus on the end goal in any business environment he works . Wishing Taslim all the best in his future journey in personal and professional life.

A fine gentlemen with a sense of purpose. Since Taslim and I come from different industries, More

our interactions were primarily related to corporate networks without the opportunity of working directly with each other. However, during the 50 Year celebration of the Foreign Chamber in Bangladesh (FICCI), I had the pleasure of working with him on a project. This was when I saw Taslim in action – responsible for delivering one of our key projects under a very tight timeline. Since FICCI involves various stakeholders, I saw that Taslim excelled in his ability to influence and work across boundaries. He emerged as a natural leader in the delivery of the project and was able to strike the balance between all connected parties to make sure that all went well. His ability to visualize the big picture, eye for details, extensive knowledge of the video production process, negotiation skills and above all, his management skills were crucial in delivering the project. I personally learnt a lot from him in an area where I had limited previous exposure. I eagerly look forward to working with him again at any future opportunity.

Taslim Ahmed — A man with an impressive personality.More

First time when i met him in a program, i envy him due to his excellent communication skill. The way he present something is exceptionally different. After that many times, i met him due to professional reasons. What i observed in him is exceptional leadership quality. He can lead his team precisely to its desired target without making any exception. I have noticed that he has satisfactory capacity of influencing his teammates, negotiating with confidence, analyzing things under different lights. He can visualize abstract things that has made him different from other corporate leaders i ever met.
