I advise institutions navigating complex decisions at the intersection of AI, policy, and capital. My background spans economic reform, investment strategy, and digital governance - developed through roles with the World Bank, Delivery Associates, and the Prime Minister’s Office in Pakistan. I’ve helped lead transformation roadmaps across IT, energy, and exports; supported the privatization of major state-owned enterprises; designed investor convenings with sovereign partners; and advised on AI governance and climate finance strategy. My focus is on simplifying the complex - turning fragmented data, political bottlenecks, and institutional ambiguity into clear priorities, structured execution plans, and momentum. I’m often brought in when stakes are high, timelines are short, and decisions need to happen. People describe my style as analytical, forward-looking, and quietly decisive. I’m known for spotting structural patterns early, aligning cross-sector stakeholders, and keeping systems moving—whether across ministries, donor platforms, or national cabinets. I’m now building toward roles that align with this foundation: sovereign advisory, strategic capital, and cross-border innovation policy. I'm especially drawn to teams and funds focused on AI governance, emerging markets, and high-stakes institutional transformation. As a Certified Director who is trained by the Pakistan Institute of Corporate Governance under an IFC-endorsed framework, I bring board-level readiness to governance, reform, and investment conversations. This complements my advisory work with public and private institutions aiming to align long-term strategy with execution under real-world constraints. If your work involves long-term bets, difficult tradeoffs, or institutional complexity - I’m interested. Reach me at: [email protected]
