“ As a Quality Professional, measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it and without a STANDARD, there is no logical basis for decision making or taking action”
Being crazy about cooking and controlling temperature and pressure since childhood aligned my career with Process Engineering from Pakistan’s top-ranked engineering university (UET, Lahore). Being a part of this globalization, we can't compromise on quality because its all about stakeholders, this vision led me to accomplished MS in Total Quality Management (TQM) and Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB) with several internships under my belt, working across a range of industries in the private and public sectors, I started my life-changing career at Bureau Veritas as a QA Executive. The group has close to 66,500 employees in around 1,400 offices and laboratories located in 140 countries around the world. Nothing is better than working with global teams and to explore the world with the leaders.
The level of our success is limited only by our imagination. The eagle eye and laserlike focus of Tti testing Laboratories welcome me to the board as QA specialist.
