Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), the nation’s largest telecommunications services provider, has announced the temporary appointment of Mohammad Nadeem Khan as its Chief Executive Officer for a period of fourteen days. The appointment, effective July 2, 2026, was disclosed through a formal notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and sees Mr. Khan replacing Hatem Mohamed Bamatraf in the top role.
Mr. Nadeem Khan is a seasoned business leader with nearly three decades of professional experience and currently serves as the Group Chief Financial Officer (GCFO) for the PTCL Group, which includes both PTCL and Ufone 4G. His extensive tenure of 20 years with the PTCL Group has seen him play a crucial role in the company’s evolution and growth as a premier telecommunications provider in Pakistan. Beyond his executive duties, he also holds a position on the Board of Directors of U Microfinance Bank Limited.
In a testament to his professional standing, Mr. Khan was nominated in May 2023 to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) Accounting Standards Board (ASB) for a four-year term. This prestigious board is responsible for overseeing the adoption and development of accounting standards in Pakistan and recommending new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This appointment underscores the high regard for his expertise within the financial and corporate governance sectors.
PTCL, incorporated on December 31, 1995, owns and operates telecommunications infrastructure and provides domestic and international telephone and other communication services across Pakistan. The company has been operating under the management control of Etisalat International Pakistan since a 26% stake was sold in 2006, a privatization that has been overshadowed by a protracted property dispute.
