KARACHI: K-Electric (KE) on Tuesday announced the appointment of Syed Taha as its new chief executive officer (CEO), replacing interim head Adeeb Ahmad.

According to a company statement, the appointment will come into effect on April 15.

Mr Ahmed holds an engineering degree and an MBA in finance from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) Karachi. He has been serving as the managing director and CEO of Pakistan State Oil (PSO) since February 2020.

“Prior to joining PSO, he worked as an executive director in Oasis Energy, heading the program management office of Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, Nigeria. He has also worked previously as chief distribution officer of KE, as well as held several senior positions in different organisations,” the statement added.

On February 13, the KE appointed Mr Ahmed as the interim CEO after then CEO Moonis Alvi resigned, days after getting a clean chit from the then-Sindh governor Kamran Tessori in a workplace harassment case.
