About

With a solid academic background in Business and Management from the University of London, complemented by Academic Directions from the London School of Economics and Political Science, I bring a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to the table. Fluent in English, Urdu, Arabic, and Hindi, I thrive in multicultural environments and possess strong leadership qualities honed through roles such as Vice President of the Sports Society. In my current role as a Finance Officer at the British Council, I leverage my financial acumen and cross-functional expertise to contribute to the organization's mission of promoting cultural exchange and educational opportunities. Additionally, my experience in venue management, call center operations, and digital marketing has equipped me with a diverse skill set and a keen understanding of customer relationship management. As the Founder, CEO, and Managing Director of Al Khaiyaat, a pioneering fashion retail startup, I've been instrumental in shaping its trajectory from the ground up. My entrepreneurial journey has been fueled by a relentless pursuit of innovation and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. From envisioning the company's strategic direction to forging strategic partnerships and driving business development initiatives, I've worn many hats to ensure our continued growth and success.
