Islamabad – In a landmark recognition of his contributions to Pakistan’s digital and financial landscape, Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz and Chairman of Mobilink Bank, has been conferred with the Hilal-e-Imtiaz, one of the nation’s highest civilian honors, by the President of Pakistan.
The award acknowledges Aamir’s visionary leadership in advancing digital inclusion, financial empowerment, and national resilience. Under his stewardship, Jazz has transformed from a traditional telecom company into Pakistan’s leading digital operator, serving over 100 million people and expanding access to fast, reliable mobile broadband across the country.
Aamir’s leadership has also been instrumental in driving financial inclusion through Mobilink Bank and JazzCash—now Pakistan’s leading digital wallet with over 48 million registered users. His efforts have focused on empowering women, youth, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by providing them with the digital tools and financial access needed to thrive in today’s economy. By facilitating digital transactions and enabling participation in the formal financial system, these initiatives are accelerating Pakistan’s transition to a cashless, digitally empowered economy.
Beyond enhancing digital and financial access, Aamir has played a pivotal role in bridging Pakistan’s industry-academia gap. His initiatives have provided future generations with the digital skills and exposure required for sustainable economic participation.
Expressing his gratitude, Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim remarked, “Receiving this honor on Pakistan Day fills my heart with immense pride. It is a recognition of the role that digital technology and financial inclusion can play in enabling the people of Pakistan—regardless of where they live or who they are. This is the path to progress: a connected, cashless, and inclusive Pakistan where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive. I am humbled to be part of this journey, and more committed than ever to serve our nation’s future.”
The Hilal-e-Imtiaz awarded to Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the collective mission of Jazz and Mobilink Bank: to improve the lives of Pakistanis by making digital and financial services accessible, inclusive, and impactful.
As Pakistan continues its journey toward a digital future, Aamir’s recognition underscores the transformative power of purpose-driven leadership and its alignment with national progress.
