According to him, he looks forward to the international opportunities and rewards associated with being a globally-recognised accounting professional.
“Huzaifa’s drive and ambition serve as a source of inspiration for the talented youth in our country.

Earlier this month, Saad Hayat was selected for the Young Global Leaders class of 2022, being one of only two representatives from Pakistan to have made the achievement. The other Pakistani was Nighat Dad from the Digital Rights Foundation.

Each year, the Forum of Young Global Leaders goes through a rigorous selection process to identify, select and commemorate remarkable leaders under 40 who come from different communities and industries worldwide. In their words: “These young leaders exemplify what we need most today: hope, empathy, authenticity, and driving solutions that change the world for the better.”
