With over six years of leadership experience at British American Tobacco (BAT), I am a seasoned professional skilled in operations, project, change management, supply chain optimization, and strategic planning. From spearheading new product introductions to driving operational efficiency in leaf operations, I have consistently delivered impactful results through cross-functional collaboration and innovative solutions
My journey began as a Global Graduate Leaf (management trainee), where I pioneered module-based women's training for the women of the tobacco farming community on child education, women's health, and farm safety, advancing Pakistan Tobacco Company's sustainability agenda. Transitioning through various roles, including Leaf Business Development Manager and Commercial Logistics Manager, I honed my expertise in change management, process optimization, and stakeholder management.
As a New Product Introduction (NPI) Manager APMEA, I led a team in successfully delivering NPI projects for seventeen markets, showcasing my ability to navigate complex challenges and drive strategic initiatives to fruition. I have demonstrated experience in risk mitigation and contingency planning during business-critical periods.
Passionate about continuous improvement and fostering a culture of collaboration, I thrive in fast-paced, results-driven environments. With a Google Project Management certification under my belt, I am equipped with the skills and mindset to tackle any challenge head-on and deliver value to organizations seeking to drive growth and innovation.
Outside of work, I find joy in baking, writing, and spending quality time with my family. My personal values of integrity, honesty, and respect serve as the guiding principles in both my personal and professional life. Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate and drive success together.
