Rizwan Ahmed (Urdu: رضوان احمد) is a former grade 22 officer of the Pakistan Administrative Service who served at the highest civil service office of Federal Secretary to the Government of Pakistan. He is currently a Member of Sindh Public Service Commission for a four-year term. Rizwan did his two-year Masters in Public Administration from Harvard University and holds the rare distinction of having served as the chief executive of four state-owned organisations under the Government of Pakistan, the most by any individual in history at the federal level.[1]
He first came to the fore when he saved more than PKR 7 billion of the national exchequer through a sweeping anti-corruption drive and commodity financing operation during his tenure as Chairman of the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP).[2][3]
Rizwan held the high profile portfolio of Maritime Secretary of Pakistan for a period of almost three years, during which he also became the first ever Pakistani to be appointed as Chairman of INFOFISH, an intergovernmental organisation setup by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation.[4]
He is considered to be one of the most successful Chairman of the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC), having extensively expanded the national fleet during his tenure which led to PNSC posting its highest ever profit of PKR 30 billion. He remains the only individual to have served twice as Chairman & CEO of PNSC.[5][6]
He is a Certified Director from the Pakistan Institute of Corporate Governance and remained a Teaching Fellow for Financial Management at the Harvard Kennedy School. He was promoted to the highest bureaucratic rank of grade 22 in 2017.[7]
