What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role in a dynamic organization that values innovation and operational efficiency.

With over 25 years of experience in strategic operations and financial management, I have successfully led organizations in various sectors including retail, automobile, textile, and healthcare. Currently, I serve as the Chief Executive Officer at Saima Classic Garments, where I focus on optimizing net profitability and driving operational excellence. My career is marked by a consistent history of achieving significant financial results and advancing company goals.

Throughout my career, I have raised sales turnover from $150M to $300M in just six years at Gul Ahmed Group, transformed a loss-oriented company into the highest profitable entity in Pakistan, and implemented effective strategies that enhanced profitability by 15% annually. My leadership style emphasizes collaboration and innovation, enabling cross-functional teams to exceed performance expectations and achieve remarkable results.
