Pakistan
Message

At MINISTRY OF DEFENCE PAKISTAN, I directed province-wide security and intelligence operations, strengthening multi-agency coordination and advising senior leadership through intelligence-led risk assessment. I also protected critical energy and national infrastructure through threat assessments, security audits, and vulnerability assessments.

I coordinated security support for more than 100 NGOs, INGOs, and UN-supported programmes, enabling humanitarian assistance to over one million beneficiaries in conflict-affected areas. During the 2020 floods, I coordinated multi-agency disaster response and supported relief operations and the evacuation of more than 600 civilians.

In Pakistan Army roles, I directed executive protection operations for 100+ VVIP visits, including Heads of State, diplomats, and senior government officials, maintaining a zero-security-breach record. I also contributed to the Government's National Reconciliation initiative, facilitating the voluntary surrender of weapons and reintegration of more than 300 individuals.

As a retired Pakistan Army Lieutenant Colonel and recipient of the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz (Military), I have commanded teams of more than 500 personnel and worked with government agencies, humanitarian organizations, international partners, and community leaders. I'm committed to helping organizations protect people, assets, operations, and critical infrastructure through practical security and risk management solutions.
