What I'm looking for

I'm open to Pakistan-based and international executive mandates where I can lead enterprise operations, governance, resilience and stakeholder engagement. I'm available to travel or relocate.

At Pakistan Petroleum Limited, I led corporate and shared-service functions supporting 5,000+ people across 50+ sites, spanning security, administration, IT, procurement, CSR, government affairs and operational support. I strengthened controls, reporting and surveillance arrangements, improving incident response by 40% and accelerating decision-making by 35%.

Across government, defence and United Nations assignments, I've directed large-scale operations, advised senior leaders on risk and continuity, and built trusted partnerships with ministries, regulators, law-enforcement agencies and communities. I bring 35+ years of experience converting complex priorities into accountable delivery in high-risk, regulated environments.
