Govt Appoints Faisal Jeddy as New PSEB CEO
The federal government has appointed Faisal Jeddy as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), a move seen as part of broader efforts to strengthen Pakistan’s information technology and software export sector.
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has formally issued an offer letter confirming Faisal Jeddy’s appointment on a full-time basis. His selection comes at a time when the government is emphasizing digital growth, technology exports, and improved governance within key IT institutions.
PSEB plays a central role in promoting Pakistan’s software and IT-enabled services globally. It works closely with local tech companies, startups, and international stakeholders to enhance exports, attract foreign investment, and improve the country’s digital ecosystem. Leadership at the organization is therefore considered critical for shaping policy direction and execution.
Faisal Jeddy brings with him extensive experience in the technology and business sectors. He is known for his work in digital transformation, strategy development, and enterprise-level operations. Industry observers believe his background aligns well with the evolving needs of Pakistan’s IT industry, which is increasingly focused on global competitiveness and innovation.
The appointment is expected to provide continuity and renewed momentum to PSEB’s ongoing initiatives. These include expanding software exports, supporting freelancers and startups, improving international branding of Pakistan’s tech sector, and strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors.
Officials familiar with the matter say the Ministry of IT is keen to see measurable progress in export growth and institutional efficiency under the new leadership. Pakistan’s IT exports have shown steady improvement in recent years, and policymakers see further potential if regulatory processes, facilitation, and global outreach are improved.
The government has repeatedly stated that the IT and software sector is a key pillar of economic growth. With limited reliance on physical infrastructure and strong global demand, the sector is viewed as a sustainable source of foreign exchange and high-skilled employment.
Faisal Jeddy’s role as CEO will involve close coordination with government bodies, industry associations, and international partners. His mandate is expected to include policy execution, organizational reforms, and the acceleration of export-oriented programs.
The appointment has been welcomed by segments of the tech community, which see stable leadership at PSEB as essential for long-term planning and confidence-building. Stakeholders are now looking toward how the new CEO will translate strategy into tangible outcomes for Pakistan’s growing digital economy.
