365 NETWORK
Leading the global vision for 365 NETWORK — Pakistan’s most contemporary and bold television media group — by driving high-impact partnerships, content expansion, and brand innovation across international markets.
My role bridges strategy and storytelling: identifying acquisition and collaboration opportunities with English-language broadcasters across the U.S., Hong Kong, China, Central Asia, and beyond; while shaping the creative and cultural direction of 365’s content slate.
Overseeing the network’s expansion roadmap, I manage cross-border negotiations, regulatory licensing, and deal structuring — with a focus on integrating global standards into local relevance. Also responsible for elevating the 365 brand across platforms through bold, audience-first narratives and aesthetic excellence.

Career Counsellor
The Citizens Foundation
TCF’s ‘Career Counselling Program’ is designed for TCF students who would be appearing for the Matriculation examinations in 2013. With the use of a pre- designed personality test and other self-appraisal exercises, the counsellors would help discover and highlight the aptitude of the concerned young adult. Through this process of derivation, the counsellor can increase individual’s self-awareness and map future career opportunities for them. This would enable the young adult to become focused and work towards realistic and achievable goals.
