About

I've spent 20+ years designing the reward systems, org structures, and capability frameworks that leading multinationals depend on. Right now, I'm leading Total Rewards & OD at Pepsi NBC — PepsiCo's largest Pakistan franchise — for a workforce of 15,500+. My career spans FMCG, energy, healthcare technology, banking, and consulting, with hands-on delivery across Pakistan, UAE, India, and the USA. I'm a dual specialist: Total Rewards Architecture on one side — job grading, compensation benchmarking, pay equity, executive compensation, and retirement benefits governance — and Organisational Development on the other — org design, culture transformation, talent calibration, and succession planning. What makes my practice different: I operate as a one-person HR Centre of Excellence, delivering COE-grade strategy and CHRO-level advisory simultaneously. I'm also an active daily practitioner of generative AI — deploying Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek for compensation modelling, policy authoring, workforce analytics, and board presentation development. Signature impact: ✦ Board-approved compensation harmonisation | 4 countries | 10,000+ employees — Descon Engineering ✦ 12–18% sustained engagement improvement via OCTAPACE + Gallup Q12+ — Heptagon ✦ Defined Benefit → Defined Contribution pension conversion, reducing long-term liability — Nestlé Pakistan ✦ 25% reduction in critical role vacancy time via 9-Box talent architecture — CureMD ✦ 40% reduction in external training costs via LinkedIn Learning + AI tooling — MNC Energy Co.
