Career
Faraz has worked in human resources at the National Transmission & Despatch Company (NTDC), later reorganized as National Grid Pakistan, in recruitment, manpower planning, and HR operations.
In September 2021, the NTDC board assigned him the additional charge of General Manager (Human Resources) while he was serving as a deputy manager, a move reported by national media.[2] A subsequent clarification stated that a capable NTDC officer was given additional charge until appointment of a regular incumbent.[3]
During his acting tenure, an office circular regarding handling anonymous or pseudonymous complaints was issued pursuant to a prior board decision; coverage characterized it as a ban on whistleblowing and sparked discussion on governance practices in the entity.[4][5] Broader governance questions around the board’s management role were also reported.[6][7]
Per professional profiles, Faraz has more recently held roles in organizational development and performance management at National Grid and served with additional charge as Director HR at the Independent System & Market Operator (ISMO).[8]Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
