Jazz, Pakistan’s largest telecom operator, has introduced a new leadership framework to accelerate its evolution from a traditional mobile network into a full-scale digital services company.
Core Leadership Principles
The revamped strategy focuses on:
✅ Customer-Centric Innovation – Leveraging data/AI for hyper-personalized digital experiences
✅ Agile Decision-Making – Flatter organizational structure to accelerate product launches
✅ Digital-First Culture – Upskilling 5,000+ employees in cloud, IoT, and fintech technologies
