I'll start first!
I'm Aneeb Farrukh,  currently working with AICPA & CIMA as country Manager for Pakistan. I am a CGMA qualified. Being CGMA qualified has allowed me to move beyond traditional finance roles into education, advocacy, and market development for the profession, working with universities, regulators, employers, and students to strengthen how finance is understood and practiced across Pakistan and APAC.

We're glad you're here, looking forward to the conversations ahead!

Hello everyone,

I'm Muhammad Junaid, an ACMA CGMA and CPA Australia–qualified professional currently serving as Head of Pre-Audit within my organization. With over 13 years of experience across finance and supply chain functions, I specialize in financial governance, regulatory compliance, tender oversight, and commercial risk management under PPRA frameworks.

The CGMA qualification has enabled me to approach finance not just as a control function, but as a pillar of governance, transparency, and strategic value creation. In my role, I oversee tender evaluations, vendor due diligence, negotiation processes, and internal control strengthening to ensure accountability and financial integrity.

I'm pleased to be part of the CIMA Asia Pacific community and look forward to engaging with fellow professionals on advancing governance excellence across the region.

Hello Aneeb, Members,

I'm Intisar Obaid Iftee,  currently working as the Corporate Finance Manager for Banglalink, a Dutch telecom operator in Bangladesh. I am an associate member of CIMA, with previous experience of leading FP&A of a fashion retail brand and working for social enterprises of BRAC, world's largest NGO.

I am deeply enthusiastic about learning different verticals of Finance & Accounting. Studying CIMA allowed me to broaden my perspective and understandings beyond the function and think like a true enabler for business. I look forward to getting to know fellow CIMA members across Asia and share perspectives of the growing role of Finance function and beyond.

Hello Everyone,

I am an FCMA, CGMA based in India (Bangalore), and also a Chartered Accountant with over three decades of experience across finance, IT governance, strategy, and corporate governance. My professional journey includes significant exposure to IT delivery, program management, and ERP implementations.

Currently, my focus is on building scalable finance functions, driving profitability, and enabling cross-border business structures. I am actively engaged in CFO advisory, business valuations, and developing ESG practices, while remaining open to opportunities where my experience can add strategic value.

I am keen to connect with fellow CIMA members for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and contributing to thought leadership in the evolving finance landscape.

I also work with global organizations to establish and optimize India-based delivery setups, enabling cost arbitrage alongside strong governance, quality, and operational efficiency.

I look forward to connecting and exploring meaningful collaborations.
