He subsequently served as Senior Client Services Manager at Prime Margin Communications, Manager/Associate at Almark Media Limited, and most recently as General Manager at Glo Construction Limited — a career arc that demonstrates both communicative excellence and broad-based managerial capability.

As Director of Communications, Advocacy and External Relations, Mr. Raheem leads EPIN's media strategy, manages institutional communications, coordinates advocacy campaigns on environmental policy issues, and manages the Institute's strategic external relationships — ensuring that EPIN's voice is heard clearly and credibly in the corridors of power, in the marketplace, and in the communities its members serve.
