I have been interacting with Mr. Parvez Iftikhar for last 10 years most recently while he was CEO of USFCo for several years and before that while he was heading the Siemens Telecom division. Mr. Iftikhar is a CEO level Technology professional and is an established leader in his remit. He has turned around several large business units and is widely known for his honesty, integrity, humility and profesionalism. He is undisputedly considered an icon in the industry.
It is due to his personal efforts that Pakistan is today recognised as a benchmark for USO (Universal Service Obligation) roll out in the world.
As a person Mr. Iftikhar is widely hailed as a man of character, integrity and foresight. He has scores of admirers for his humility and compassion. I have come across very few people like Mr. Iftikhar in my life who are so gifted and talented and yet so kind and humble.
