PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m an accomplished Chief Executive and multi-sector business leader with 28 years of P&L leadership across Banking & Finance, Travel & Tourism, Telecom, and Global Inspections & Certifications. I build and scale businesses in Pakistan and UAE markets for UK, French, German, and Malaysian multinationals—grounded in regulatory discipline and operational execution.
Since 2015, I’ve led Travel Express as Chief Executive, managing travel and tours services and R&D for visa and travel consultancy across 200+ products and services. I focus on B2B airline/hotel contracting, Sabre/Amadeus GDS, and digital marketing transformation to support corporate strategy, policies, and end-to-end feedback and reporting.
Earlier, I developed deep expertise in mutual funds and asset management, including roles at NAFA Asset Management (National Bank of Pakistan + Fullerton) and experience as an officer at Allied Bank Limited. I built scalable client operations—serving 1000+ clients annually with a 40% repeat rate—while strengthening SBP regulatory compliance and core banking operations.
My international leadership experience includes management roles at Moody International (UK), Bureau Veritas (France), TUV Nord (Germany), Boehringer Mannheim (Germany), and Redtone Telecom (Malaysia). I combine ISO standards, pre-shipment inspections, quality audits, and cross-border compliance with UAE/GCC market development and consultancy for Pakistan market entry and trade corridors.
