Nazreen Mohammed

Nazreen Mohammed is a Manager of Major Accounts at BDC, Canada's bank for entrepreneurs, where she partners with business owners to unlock growth, navigate complexity, and build resilient, high-performing companies. With over 22 years at BDC, Nazreen has supported countless entrepreneurs by delivering hundreds of millions of dollars in growth capital, while also connecting them to advisory services that drive expansion, operational excellence, and long-term success.

Her career is shaped by a global and deeply personal journey. Born in Fiji, Nazreen immigrated to Canada in 1984 and later spent eight years in Sydney, Australia, continuing her work in the finance industry while raising her two children. These experiences have shaped her ability to connect with entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds and understand the realities of building and growing a business.

Over the years, Nazreen has seen firsthand how the right support can transform a business. She recalls working with an entrepreneur who was struggling to scale due to limited access to capital and operational challenges. By structuring a tailored financing solution and connecting them with advisory expertise, that business was able to streamline operations, expand into new markets, and significantly grow its revenue. Today, it stands as a strong, sustainable company, creating jobs and contributing to the local economy. For Nazreen, moments like these reinforce why she is so passionate about the work she does.

Beyond her professional role, Nazreen is a committed community leader, actively involved with the Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, and other business associations. She is passionate about strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem and fostering meaningful connections that help businesses and communities thrive.

Nazreen's philosophy is grounded in a simple belief: "When you invest in people and relationships, growth naturally follows."
