Pakistan Digital Authority has announced three new additions to its growing team, welcoming Faiza Shah as Business Analyst, Mahlaka Shujjat as Executive Assistant, and Mohiuddin Aftab in an information technology support role, as the authority continues building the internal capacity required to deliver on Pakistan’s digital governance mandate at scale.
Faiza Shah brings over 12 years of experience spanning policy development, data analysis, and project delivery. She played a key role in drafting Pakistan’s first-ever National Biometric Policy, led grant development efforts that secured funding from USAID, the European Commission, and the United Nations, and managed multi-billion rupee project bids within the telecom sector. Mahlaka Shujjat joins as Executive Assistant to PDA’s leadership team, bringing hands-on experience in operations support, cross-functional coordination, and business development, with a consistent track record of keeping complex initiatives on track and ensuring leadership teams can move with speed and clarity.
Mohiuddin Aftab rounds out the new intake with practical expertise in information technology procurement and end-user support. His experience spans the management of IT assets and enterprise productivity platforms including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with PDA describing him as someone who brings a problem-solving mindset and a strong commitment to service reliability, ensuring that digital operations run seamlessly in the background while the organisation focuses on its broader mission.
Taken together, the three appointments reflect PDA’s deliberate effort to build a team that combines policy depth, operational discipline, and technical capability, as the authority scales its work across Pakistan’s digital infrastructure landscape and moves closer to delivering on its mandate of a connected, digitally governed Pakistan.
