Who am I?
Born in Japan, grew up in a village named Saadabad in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
I have 15 years of experience in Strategy, Finance, and Accounting. I have worked and lived in over 10 countries and can speak 4 languages.
Began career at PwC in 2009. Learned Accounting fundamentals, made friends (and rivals), and discovered 'double A see'. Those challenging years shaped my future.
Many Big 4 accountants agree: Public Accounting isn't suited for everyone. I took a risky opportunity that went against the norm, and it turned out to be a long-term success.
In 2013, I started a telecom business with my uncle, who has been my closest friend and biggest supporter ever since.
Began with limited resources but grew to span across 4 countries. Led major Telecom projects and corporate finances, including my first M&A deal in 2014 as CFO for 4 years.
I admired America's economy, $18 trillion in 2016. Comparatively, my country's economy at $300 billion saddened me. So I sold my business share and pursued an MBA at Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth.
After I got to Tuck, I became just as interested in Strategy as the US economy. I learned from top professors while studying with most amazing friends.
After completing my MBA, I applied my new Strategy knowledge at a leading TMT consulting firm as a Strategy Consultant. I gained experience in simplifying complex billion-dollar issues into manageable questions and finding answers for top PE firms, Investment Funds, and Family offices as clients.
Consulting was enjoyable, but I believed there were more significant issues to address than focusing on boosting profits by a small margin for wealthy shareholders.
By the end of 2022, (the US GDP reached $25 trillion), I took a break from my consulting job to reflect and returned to my village, Saadabad. I advised on non-profit projects in the rural development and healthcare space.
(Pakistan’s GDP only grew by $70 billion since I left in 2016, while the US GDP grew by $7 trillion in the same period! 100 times that of Pakistan. How?)
While looking back on my job, business school, and life experiences, I chose to reflect and set a meaningful goal beyond just money.
My Professors taught me to “Lean into your strengths”, “All credits must equal debits” and “Cabron! The World’s changing fast! Just Do it Man!” (yeah, my 2nd best Strategy professor is a crazy Mexican guy).
So I decided to:
Lean into my strengths: Strategy, Finance & Accounting
Work with the American people whose values align with mine: concerned about their country & the World, just like my friends in all the other countries I've been in.
Rally a group of close friends from around the world to do our share towards “insuring domestic tranquility”, “promote general welfare” and “secure Blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity”, to Better the World through Business.
In 2024, the US GDP is valued at $28 trillion, up from $18 trillion in 2016, showing a 55% increase since I moved to the US eight years ago.
Am I America’s lucky charm or do we have a problem here?
I build solutions to help businesses answer questions such as:
what does the $28 trillion GDP in the US mean for your business with the current $34 trillion debt?
how should you approach Strategy during Survival, Growth, or Exit phases and
how to set up a Finance & Accounting function to support your strategy goals effectively?
For whom? For those who truly believe in…
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
- The US Constitution
