Most powerful: JWT CEO makes Power 100 list

KARACHI: JWT Pakistan CEO Mansoor Karim Shaikh has been named one of Pakistan’s most powerful and influential people in the inaugural Pakistan Power 100 list, alongside cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, Ehsan Malik, Chairman Unilever Pakistan, and Lord Nazir Ahmed, a member of the House of Lords and the UK’s first Muslim life peer. The Pakistan Power 100 was created by UK-based consulting company Carter Anderson Group, which publishes the Global Power 100, says a press release. Over 33,000 nominations were received for the Pakistan Power 100, which was judged by a panel led by Pakistan-born investor and BBC’s Dragon’s Den star James Caan. The Pakistan Power 100 winner’s book, which was launched in London on September 29, includes messages from British Prime Minister David Cameron and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who describes the Power 100 as “role models” whose “remarkable achievements are a source of inspiration for other Pakistanis.”
