Our Core Team

The international scope of LANDT's work manifests through the company’s commitment to professionalism and diversity. 

At LANDT, we remain committed to the values of professionalism, diligence, openness and continuous learning. Commitment to these values encourages LANDT’s team to grow both professionally and personally while we contribute to facilitating access to finance for MSMEs.

Our business is all about people:
The staff in our very lean head office who create and support our structures, the colleagues in our subsidiaries in Afghanistan and Tajikistan who work so hard to achieve business volume and ensure portfolio quality, the employees of the partner financial institutions who we closely cooperate with and train and, foremost, the business owners and their employees who are at the center of what we do: Unlocking potential and facilitating growth, jobs and income.

It gives me great joy to shape this work and see its impact.

Our business provides me with the good feeling to act on the right side of business life. Main reasons for my conviction to do the right thing at the right time are:

  • Our contribution to make the world a better place by creating and conserving employment in developing countries
  • Our professionalism in the development finance sector combined with hard work and dedication to our goals
  • The creation of 50 jobs within LANDT itself in Afghanistan, Germany and Tajikistan;
  • Our ability to work in an international intercultural environment.

The present refugee crisis and the conviction that support of business development in developing countries is key to reduce migration pressure has even strengthened my deep belief that we are doing the right thing.

What I like most about my work is the combination of dealing with finance and accounting topics and being part of an intercultural team. The unique working environment of LANDT makes my daily work very interesting and enriching.

Hailing from a developing nation like India where SMEs employ close to 40 percent of its entire workforce, I have first-hand witnessed the importance of nurturing those businesses and helping them realize their growth potential. Working at LANDT gives me the satisfaction of contributing directly to creating a tangible impact in the lives of those entrepreneurs that are scripting the growth stories of developing economies. Moreover, sharing the workspace with a diverse set of driven people at LANDT and in all of its subsidiaries leaves no dearth of inspiration to become an enabler of development.
