Omer Azeem is 20 years into a career that has taken him from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Eqypt, Qatar and back to Pakistan.
We recorded this a few weeks ago before the war talk between Pakistan and India this week so you’ll hear Omer say that things feel “calm”. You’ll also hear him echo the sentiment in the interview with Priyanka Agrawal from Bombay, India – that we are more alike than we are different.
We discuss:
- Planning in what many people might see as “closed markets”
- Identifying as a progressive but working in what many people see as conservative cultures
- How Pakistan is changing
- What strategy and planning do in Pakistan
