5 Best CEOs of Pakistan & Why they are the Best

5 Best CEOs of Pakistan, and Why they are the BEST


It goes without saying that a CEO chair at any given company is the most back-breaking one to sit upon. It demands a definitive skillset and determination to climb up to it, and then to rule the reign. Today’s article is about the best of the CEOs in Pakistan, who were chosen not because of their financial status or net worth, but because of particular persona which set them apart from conformist money-making machines.

1)      MAHEEN RAHMAN



Maheen Rahman, the CEO of Alfalah GHP Investment Management, is the youngest head of any asset management company in Pakistan. But that’s not why she’s No.1 on our list. She’s here because of how she captained a sinking ship at IGI Funds in 2009, and saved not only the company, but everyone onboard too. She doubled the assets and reduced the equity returns by 60% in just one year. Alfalah couldn’t help but notice and made her the CEO in 2013.


2)           NADEEM HUSSAIN


Nadeem Hussain serves as the Founder and CEO at Tameer Microfinance. He’s arguably one of the best entrepreneurial minds of Pakistan. Since the inception of Tameer, the 6 Million startup has grown to over 200 Million USD and has revolutionized mobile banking by introducing EasyPaisa.
Plant N is another successful initiative by Nadeem, which serves to fuel various business incubations and startup ideas.


3)           Dr. Amjad Saqib


Resigning from the Civil Services in 2003, this man went on to be the Founder and CEO of the world’s largest interest free microfinance program “AKHUWAT”. With over 622 branches, and 6 Lacs of active clients, AKHUWAT has distributed over $347 Million interest free loans to more than 16 Lac families. Dr. Amjad is not just a social entrepreneur, but also a prolific writer and an acclaimed speaker with 6 authored books to his name.

4)           M.A. Mannan


Mannan is the President and CEO at Pakistan’s fastest courier services company, TCS. He envisioned and actualized Pakistan Remittance Initiative (PRI), which was a major breakthrough that delivered $14 Billion in 2012/13. Mannan holds a strong customer-centric focus to scale new heights in customer services.


5)           M. Raza Saeed


Graduating from LUMS in 2008, this young man saw the potential in PakWheels.com, and acquired the business to be its CEO. Under his command, this small auto-enthusiast website has been raised to the Pakistan’s largest automobile website with over $3.5 Million and over 3 Million views per month.
