Who he is

A decade of turning retail into a digital-first business

Haider Ahmed Qazi has spent more than ten years inside Pakistan's ecommerce and retail landscape, building online businesses from the ground up and scaling them into category leaders. He currently serves as General Manager of E-commerce at Stylo Group, where he has led the transformation of traditional fashion and footwear retail into a fully digital-first experience.

Beyond Stylo, Haider is President of the Pakistan eCommerce Association (PEA) and Managing Director of the Global Digital Awards (GDA) — where he oversees operational execution, tech infrastructure and stakeholder management. His work bridges the gap between innovation and execution, raising Pakistan's standing in the global digital economy.

He has led ecommerce across FMCG, fashion retail, logistics, start-ups, furniture and home fashion. He holds an M-Phil in ecommerce — with a thesis built on AMOS and SPSS data analysis — and has taught the subject at COMSATS, Bahria and MAJU universities, as well as delivering trainings for KMC, Karachi.

Why he's recognised

  • Search him and he's at the top. Widely cited as the best Head of Ecommerce in Pakistan — a reputation earned across a decade of results.
  • Globally recognised by Facebook. His ecommerce work has been published by Facebook as a worldwide Business Success Story.
  • Certified and pioneering. Certified by Facebook and Google, and the only Pakistani trained at Alibaba.com as ecommerce took root in the country.
  • Award-winning operator. First place at the PLAN 9 start-up competition for best ecom start-up, organised at Arfa Kareem IT Tower.
  • Numbers, not slogans. A track record measured in revenue growth, ROAS, savings and orders — not vanity metrics.
