Ziauddin Kashif

I am a Director Sales & Business Development with 16+ years of progressive experience in sales, marketing, business development, customer service, and operations. I spent 13 years with Etisalat Afghanistan, gaining extensive nationwide experience across all 34 provinces, leading sales teams, managing KPIs, developing market-expansion strategies, managing key accounts, and driving customer acquisition and revenue growth.

Currently, I serve as Director Sales & Marketing at TAKTAZ Technologies, leading sales strategy, business development, corporate and institutional sales, key-account management, market expansion, strategic partnerships, pricing, and sales-team performance. Previously, I led Business Development at KBC Construction, where I contributed to organizational restructuring and reduced departmental expenses by 15%.

Throughout my career, I have received multiple awards for leadership, sales performance, crisis management, and operational excellence, including recognition during COVID-19 for maintaining business continuity and achieving KPIs.

I am fluent in six languages: English, Pashto, Dari, Persian (Iranian), Urdu, and Hindi, enabling me to communicate effectively with diverse customers, teams, partners, and stakeholders.

My professional interests include Sales Leadership, Business Development, FMCG & Distribution, Key Account Management, Strategic Partnerships, Market Expansion, Revenue Growth, and building high-performing sales teams. I am particularly interested in senior commercial opportunities where I can use my nationwide market knowledge, multilingual communication skills, leadership experience, and strategic sales capabilities to drive sustainable business growth.
