Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has appointed Amad Khan as its new Chief Marketing Officer, the company announced on 2 November 2026. The appointment was approved by PTCL’s Board of Directors and hands one of the most visible roles at the country’s largest fixed-line operator to a veteran telecom executive with more than two decades of industry experience.
The announcement comes at a time of intense competition in Pakistan’s telecom sector, with operators fighting for customers across fibre broadband, mobile and digital services. PTCL said the appointment is part of its push to strengthen its position as an integrated technology and ICT company.
The announcement: board-approved, effective immediately
PTCL confirmed that Amad Khan’s appointment as Chief Marketing Officer followed approval by the company’s Board of Directors, and it was announced on 2 November 2026. The move was one of two senior leadership changes announced the same day: PTCL also named Muhammad Amir Siddiqi as its new Chief Financial Officer, signalling a broader refresh of the company’s top leadership.
The CMO role sits at the centre of PTCL’s customer-facing strategy. As the country’s largest fixed-line operator — with a wireline portfolio spanning fibre broadband, voice, television, OTT and IoT — PTCL’s marketing leadership directly shapes how millions of households and businesses experience its brand.
Who is Amad Khan? A telecom veteran with an international track record
Amad Khan is not an outsider. He has been with PTCL for several years, holding senior commercial leadership roles across the company’s wireline portfolio, including Fiber, Voice, TV, OTT and IoT. That inside knowledge of PTCL’s products and customers is a key part of why the board chose him for the CMO role.
Before joining PTCL, Khan worked at Optus Australia, one of the country’s major telecom operators. There, he contributed to the Fibre and 5G Fixed Wireless Access strategy and led product and technology transformation programmes — experience that maps directly onto PTCL’s own push into high-speed fibre and next-generation connectivity in Pakistan.
His career spans Pakistan, Australia and the Middle East, and covers more than 20 years across telecommunications, technology and digital transformation. On the academic side, Khan holds an MBA from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), where he earned a place on the Dean’s Honors List, and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from FAST-NUCES — a combination of business and technical training that fits the data-driven nature of modern telecom marketing.
What the new CMO will be responsible for
As Chief Marketing Officer, Amad Khan will lead PTCL’s marketing and customer growth agenda. PTCL says the remit covers brand strategy, product positioning, customer experience, digital engagement and go-to-market execution across the company’s connectivity and digital services portfolio.
In practical terms, that means the new CMO will steer how PTCL’s fibre broadband, voice, TV and digital products are packaged, priced in the market, communicated and sold — and how the company keeps existing customers while winning new ones from rival operators. Customer experience is explicitly part of the mandate, which suggests PTCL wants the marketing function tied closely to service quality, not just advertising.
Why the appointment matters for PTCL right now
The timing is significant. PTCL has spent the last two years reshaping itself into an integrated technology and ICT company. It completed the acquisition of Telenor Pakistan in December 2025 and created the PTML mobile entity in July 2026, giving the group a much larger footprint across both fixed and mobile markets.
Against that backdrop, the CMO appointment — paired with the new CFO — looks like PTCL putting experienced leadership in place to run a bigger, more complex business. The company says it is focused on expanding high-speed connectivity and developing innovative digital services to meet the evolving needs of customers, and both appointments point in that direction.

What PTCL customers can expect
PTCL has not announced any specific new packages or campaigns tied to the appointment, so customers should not read new offers into the news itself. What the appointment does signal is intent: a board-approved decision to put marketing, customer experience and digital engagement under a leader who has run commercial operations inside PTCL and shaped broadband strategy at an international operator.
In a market where fibre operators compete aggressively on speed, price and service reliability, that focus on the customer experience side of marketing could be what differentiates PTCL in 2026 and beyond.
