More than 30 years of experience and a successful track record in leading and elevating business leaders and teams across the globe.
Following a shattering accident, 8 years ago, with devastating injuries, I have defied all expectations to beat the odds. ( See my Profile) My recovery has been an inspirational journey of resilience and the power of leveraging personal strengths. Although Im still a work in progress, I’m not just surviving, I am thriving. We all face challenges but being crushed is not an option. We need to develop the strengths to thrive – especially in today’s business. We need to adapt swiftly. My mission is not to show people my superpowers, but to show them theirs. My focus is to enable others to flourish. Where you, your team or your organisation feel stuck, uncertain which direction to take, or want to elevate talent and take careers to their next level, I help determine that path. I help you recognise where you are uniquely powerful and vulnerable and how to leverage strengths to develop resilient , authentic leaders and teams who thrive. |

Asma is a Chartered Accountant from Pakistan and England&Wales by profession, having finance and accounting experience of 16 years with diverse industry sectors. She has been living in Dubai since 2007, and have added value to leading multinational and local groups throughout her career. Born in a conservative middle class in an area dominated by strict code of life, Asma had to struggle from early life. Her independent soul refused to accept the restrictions and burdens loaded on the women of society. Asma realized early in life that if she did not want to be suffocated, she had to be educated and high achiever. Throughout her school and college life she struggled and achieved top positions. She secured two gold-medals in CA exams. She had to take tuition classes to finance her education. There was also the challenge to convince her own family that she should be allowed to fly as a free bird and achieve her goals. Life during training for professional qualification was not easy either. There were only a few lady trainees. And they were treated as trophies by the male dominated senior staff. Somehow Asma survived and achieved the Chartered Accountancy qualification with kudos. Life in the practical business world had its own challenges. Even in the 21st century there are glass ceilings. Throughout her career Asma has worked to shatter these glass ceilings. Not an easy task. In order to give a strong profile Asma decided to contest the election of the Managing Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). ICAP has approximately 1000 members in the UAE. She won the election with the highest numbers of votes and was elected as the Chair of the ICAP-UAE Managing Committee. As the Chair, Asma worked tirelessly to improve the profile and opportunities for the ICAP members in the UAE. She became the first overseas recipient of the Chartered Accountant Woman of the Year award 2019, conferred by the President of Pakistan. Besides continuing with her career, She is raising 2 kids. She also pursues community services and carries deep interest in poetry and music as part-time passion. She launched an initiative titled “Femme-Passion” comprising qualified female CAs in the UAE.

I am a senior investment professional with more than 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry, having started my career in 1986 as one of the first women to work in the London Stock Exchange. The majority of my career was spent as an Investment Manager in Guernsey where I also worked as the in-house Investment Consultant for a fiduciary company owned by a global law firm, and as a Non-Executive Director of a wealth management group with offices in Mayfair and Dubai. I was appointed as a Consultant to the Island’s Regulator, and I established a pension scheme which out-performed its benchmarks for the seven years under my management. I now have 8 years’ international commercial and not-for-profit Board experience gained in Guernsey and the UAE as well as 5 years’ Chair and 1 year’s Treasury experience in the national charity sector. I have also achieved a number of professional awards and have become a regular speaker at events such as STEP Arabia and the Wealth Arabia Summit, as well as being published and interviewed in the UAE and UK media. In 2019/20, I was based in London where I expanded my business before returning to my home island of Guernsey to take up my NED career and re-establish my investment consultancy which I am now doing as Client Director at Altair (Guernsey) Ltd. I am qualified in investment management and international trust management, and I have an extensive network of professionals in locations such as Monaco, Geneva, the GCC, London and the Channel Islands. |
