Coach, Consultant
for Business Strategy
With 50 years of manufacturing and globalising my own company, I am an Export Consultant and Internationalisation Strategist with a passion for helping manufacturers and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) expand their horizons and succeed in international markets.
For more than a decade, I worked closely with the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI – Netherlands), serving as an Engineering Sector Expert, Trainer, and Coach. During this period, I had the privilege of working with dozens of engineering and metalworking companies in Pakistan — helping them build the capacity, systems, and strategies needed to export successfully to Europe.
That collaboration with CBI shaped my approach to export consulting. The CBI Export Coaching Methodology — grounded in the CBI Export Planner and the Rapid Quality Assessment (RQA) system — remains the foundation of my practice today.
It is a proven, structured framework that turns capable manufacturers into export-ready, globally competitive businesses.
