Irfan Wahab Khan, CEO & President, Telenor Pakistan has been elected as the President of the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) with effect from July 1, 2018. His appointment came following a successful tenure of Bruno Olierhoek, who resigned as the President of OICCI after taking a new position outside Pakistan.
Commenting on his appointment as the President of OICCI, Irfan Wahab Khan said, "I am honoured to have been elected as the President of OICCI and I am grateful for the trust and confidence that members have put in me. Pakistan has the potential to attract large investment due to its growing economy and demographic strength, and a number of large foreign investors have Pakistan on their radar, but are somewhat hesitant in deciding on investing, mainly due to an element of uncertainty and confusion on policy implementation. With clear policies and their robust implementation Pakistan can attract significant FDI.
The OICCI members, who know the business environment in Pakistan, have been aggressively investing in expanding their facilities in Pakistan and have collectively invested over US$ 2 Billion annually for past many years. I am extremely keen about the progress OICCI has made and look forward to ensure further contribution to the country. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Bruno for his service and leadership as the President of OICCI."
Irfan Wahab Khan has over 20 years of leadership experience and has been engaged in the corporate sector since 1992 having worked for Orange, PTCL, T-Mobile, Ericsson, Telcordia Technologies and Ministry of IT and Telecom Pakistan prior to joining Telenor in 2004. He has worked in various countries including United Kingdom, United States, The Philippines, Norway and Bangkok. He is the first employee of Telenor Pakistan and served as the Executive Vice President of the Company until 2009 before moving to Telenor Group as Vice President Devices and Distribution.-PR
