About Afsana Mimi Rahman

Based in Rotterdam, Afsana Mimi Rahman serves as a financial Controller with Unilever, specialising in quantitative analysis and financial markets.

After strong results in her Cambridge examinations, she completed a BSc Accounting & Finance at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where her interest in finance deepened. Her first professional post as a junior Accountant opened the door to an international career, and she has since built a reputation for rigour and clarity.

For Afsana, the through-line is simple: the discipline of mathematics learned at school remains the sharpest tool she owns.
