I lead public relations and communications for major real-estate and public programs.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, media relations, and reputation-building programs for complex public, government, or real-estate initiatives.

I'm leading community engagement, media relations, campaign delivery, and investor communications at Defence Housing Authority City Karachi. I manage press activity, crisis communications, creative vendors, content teams, and campaigns across social media, websites, TVCs, DVCs, and OOH.

Over 20+ years, I've built stakeholder relationships across DHA Lahore, GFS Builders & Developers, and ISPR Directorate, including government liaison, disaster-response communications, national sports coverage, and public events. I've led a 60-member customer care team, directed corporate communication plans, and produced documentary and press materials that address public perception and protect reputation.
