Boston Consulting Group alumnus Qahir Dhanani (Dubai, 2009-2012) has been at the bank for three years, as part of its Young Professionals Program (YPP). His interest in international development was piqued at a young age. Born in Nairobi, he lived there until his family moved to Toronto when he was ten years old.
“The difference was immense—roads were paved, everything was clean, goods and services were readily available, things just worked—a stark difference in development between a place like Canada and what I’d experienced in Kenya.”
Armed with an undergraduate degree in government and economics from Cornell, Qahir took his first job with the Aga Khan Development Network, working on microfinance and social development in Africa and the Middle East.
