What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in sales and operations while fostering team growth and driving business success.

I am a highly accomplished sales and operations professional with over 24 years of experience in driving growth across the Telecom/ISP, Hospitality, and Logistics sectors. My career has been marked by a strong ability to lead teams, drive sales growth, and improve customer satisfaction. Currently, I serve as the Business Unit Head at Cybernet Private Limited, where I oversee operations, manage financial performance, and ensure alignment with organizational goals.

In my previous role as Regional Sales Manager at Jazz Pakistan Pvt Ltd, I successfully developed and implemented regional sales strategies that significantly increased market share and achieved company sales targets. I pride myself on my ability to build strong relationships with key stakeholders, clients, and vendors, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement within my teams.

My educational background includes an MBA in Marketing and a Bachelor of Law (BALLB), complemented by over 12 specialized training certifications. I have a proven track record of achieving sales incentives and have participated in international business tours across the USA, Australia, Europe, and Italy, which have enriched my professional perspective and approach to business.
