Badar Khushnood

Badar Khushnood was the in-market representative for Google, Facebook and Twitter in Pakistan — which is to say he was the country's interface with the platforms that reshaped it. He went on to chair P@SHA, the industry body, convened Pakistan's first APICTA awards, and was the private-sector lead who co-authored the country's first national e-commerce policy.

He co-founded Bramerz, an AI-augmented digital marketing agency; Fishry, a B2C commerce platform for SME brands; and Publishrr, the digital backbone under news media companies across Pakistan.

He is Executive-in-Residence at LUMS on the Masters in Technology Management & Entrepreneurship, and co-directs AI for the Boardroom there — which is the work he brings to Torque: moving directors and chief executives from using AI to leading with it.
