What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a challenging position in a dynamic organization where I can use my talents, have my performance rewarded, and continue to grow and advance.

At Z Administrative Services, I manage a Houston-based, multi-brand portfolio spanning retail, QSR, fuel stations, car washes, and industrial properties. I lead real estate development and project management, from site evaluation and financial feasibility through entitlements, construction, and expansion planning.

Previously, at SavillsPakistan and CBRE GWS, I managed corporate real estate and asset management for Standard Chartered Bank Pakistan, including a portfolio of approximately 600k square feet. My work included lease administration, transactions, property valuations, budgeting, legal coordination, and property-related agreements.
