What Clients Say
Why our customers love us
Fiza has supported our efforts to design, create and launch the UNICEF Pakistan Advisory Council. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and her team: Fiza’s dynamism, enthusiasm, dedication and good mood are contagious. She is very bright and well-spoken, knowledgeable on several crucial areas of our work, from gender to climate change, and is an active changemaker. Furthermore, she is surrounded by a solid team. I wish them all the best in any new endeavour and hope to get the chance to work together again in the future.

I had the privilege of working closely with Fiza on Diversity & Inclusion initiatives, and her commitment to the cause was truly exceptional. With her invaluable support, we were able to drive significant improvements in the way D&I is approached at Syngenta. Her passion for the topic is commendable, and her ability to engage and align a diverse range of stakeholders is truly impressive. Fiza’s energy leaves a lasting impact on everyone around her, and she is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring female leaders I have encountered in Pakistan. Her contributions are making a meaningful difference, not just within corporations but also in the broader community.

Fiza is an inspiration global leader who is driving real and practical change on gender equality outcomes as Convener of Male Champions of Change Pakistan. Her perseverance and commitment shine through in everything she does

Fiza is always magic to work with- the way she gets things done is unbelievable, from high level negotiations to ground level execution- Fiza has it all taken care of! Would definitely find another opportunity to work with her soon!

Fiza through her various highest level of positioning and work, has a positive, and energetic approach, ideal for energising action leading to results, combining this with a sound grounding on a range of issues from women’s empowerment, to renewable energy, to responsible business.

Fiza Farhan worked with The British Asian Trust to conduct a scoping study for programme development for women in formal work in Pakistan by looking at the supply and demand side in urban areas. It was a pleasure to work with Fiza and her team as they were highly professional, proactive in finding solutions, immaculately on time, and developed a robust analysis of data. I would definitely work with Fiza again.'

Fiza completed a comprehensive gender mainstreaming plan for a conservation project in northern Pakistan. She proactively engaged with local women and formulated creative approaches for addressing their specific needs.

Fiza is a breeze of positive change. Her dynamism and dedication for creating hope and opportunity for women in Pakistan is addictive. Not only does she have her heart in the right place but synchronizes her mind to ensure that both organs work in concert. Being a beacon for inspiration and a champion of women's empowerment makes her a joy to work with. Keep up the great work.

It has been our absolute pleasure and privilege to engage Fiza Farhan as a consultant for a energy bid in Pakistan over a period of several months. Due to COVID-19 it was not possible to travel to the country and we were looking for a well-connected and energetic person who would help my team navigate a challenging landscape of the Pakistan energy sector. Ms. Farhan understands and has extensive experience in working with the private sector, government entities, academia and donor organizations. She is a generator of great ideas and is an innovator. She is a champion of women in international development and energy space. I hope we stay connected with Ms. Farhan and her organization in the future.
