Description
I am a highly skilled and competent company/corporate secretary with over 20 years of experience in various areas including corporate administration, compliances, CSR, import matters, corporate events, marketing, and accounts. Excel in ensuring companies comply with legal and statutory requirements and adept at facilitating communication between shareholders and board members, especially in public limited companies.
Throughout my career, I have achieved notable successes. Like, at Yousuf Adil-Chartered Accountants, I played a crucial role in amending Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association for leading financial institutions, ensuring compliance with the Companies Act, 2017 and SBP regulations. I also assisted in setting up Category-A Exchange Companies in line with SBP Exchange Companies Manual.
At Dadex, I provided valuable advice to the Board regarding the disposal of assets in accordance with legal requirements. Additionally, at Security Papers Limited, I introduced Sustainable Development Goals reporting in the Annual Report and implemented Corporate Board Session as required by PSX. I also introduced the first-ever external evaluation of the board and committees through a third-party consultant.
In my role at Pakistan Paper Products Limited, I successfully resolved a longstanding dispute with the erstwhile Lahore Stock Exchange and implemented necessary updates to the company website in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
In addition to my professional achievements, I have pursued various corporate certifications and attended workshops and seminars hosted by reputable organizations such as SECP and PSX. These experiences have provided me with a thorough understanding of corporate governance, compliance, and regulatory frameworks, enabling me to contribute effectively to organizational success.
