Ziauddin Kashif

I’m a highly accomplished Business Development and Operations leader with over 16 years of experience driving growth and excellence across Afghanistan and Pakistan. I specialize in high-stakes relationship management, customer service operations, and stabilizing operations in failed or volatile regions, with a multilingual edge across 7 languages.

I consistently exceed KPIs and “live the values,” earning recognition for top performance and strategic dedication. My work has been validated by government authorities for stakeholder cooperation, and I received the Crisis Management Award for ensuring operational continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In my current role as Head of Business Development & Sales, Marketing (03/2026–Present), I direct strategic growth and operational stabilization across Afghanistan’s provinces—re-establishing business footprints in failed regions. I’m responsible for finding new clients and nurturing existing accounts, managing the full sales cycle, and scaling strategic partner relationships—supported by targeted sales and marketing campaigns.

Previously, as a Business Development Manager (05/2024–02/2026), I led client acquisition for multi-building projects, handled partner and government negotiations, and managed multi-million-dollar budgets through rigorous vendor negotiation and resource allocation. Earlier, as a Business Development and Sales / Marketing Supervisor (2011–2024) at Etisalat Afghanistan, I led multi-province operations, delivered 100% business continuity during COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, optimized budgets to reduce overhead, and engineered KPI tracking using ERP systems, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Outlook—backed by award-winning crisis leadership and government liaison impact.
