The federal government has appointed Faisal Jeddy as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB).
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has issued an official offer letter, confirming his appointment on a full-time basis.
Faisal Jeddy brings more than two decades of leadership experience in the global technology sector, particularly in Silicon Valley. His professional career includes senior executive roles, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and close engagement with international technology leaders across multiple markets.
After returning to Pakistan, Jeddy has remained actively involved in the country’s technology ecosystem. He most recently served as Global Chief Strategy Officer at Systems Limited and has also held leadership roles within the Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs (OPEN), focusing on linking Pakistan’s tech industry with global opportunities.
The appointment comes at a time when Pakistan’s IT and IT-enabled services sector is seeking sustained growth and stronger international positioning.
As CEO of PSEB, Jeddy will be responsible for overseeing existing initiatives and introducing new programs aimed at accelerating the expansion of the IT and ITES industry.
The position had remained vacant since late October last year, following the resignation of Abu Bakar as CEO. After his departure, the PSEB board announced the vacancy and invited applications for a three-year contractual term.
