OPEN is not only a global brand but also the most prestigious one for Pakistani entrepreneurs and corporate professionals around the globe. It’s been more than a year for me in this role as OPEN Global President. I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight the top initiatives OPEN Global decided to undertake, the opportunity that lies ahead and a sincere ask.
We set out with three key goals: enable members to connect on a global scale, facilitate in Any organization is as good as it’s volunteers and the people that are a part of it. We would not be in a position to build this organization without the contribution and support of 350+ charter members, 100+ executive team members and 100K+ network, who are leveraging this platform to run and execute various initiatives they feel passionate about. We have an incredible pool of seasoned entrepreneurs and corporate executives to learn from who have raised $2B+ in capital and have had $10B+ exits just in the past two years. We must continue to challenge ourselves to deliver meaningful value to our members globally. As we enter a third decade since the founding of our organization, I strongly believe we have a solid foundation, and a global community of entrepreneurs and corporate executives engaged and ready to move us forward. Finally, a quick personal reflection and an ask: I questioned myself whether I would be able to do justice to the role when we got started last year. I am convinced today after all the progress we made, with the help of numerous passionate leaders in this organization, that for diaspora communities to truly succeed, we, as leaders, must never stop giving our time and energy. No matter where we are in our journey. OPEN stands to greatly benefit from the experience, credibility and relationships of seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders like yourself, especially at this time. I sincerely hope you will consider getting involved in your chapter and reach out to me directly to leverage this wonderful platform to execute on your passion.
