Dr. Sono Khangharani (Chief Executive Officer)

Dr. Sono started his professional career in late 1982 as a teacher (lecturer) at Agriculture University Tando Jam Sindh. This allowed him to learn teaching skills and understand research methodology and its conduct. It is linked with National and International Academia. He joined the corporate sector 1987 as a senior professional and learned about business models, particularly in Pakistan’s dairy farming and animal husbandry industry. Finally, he worked in the development sector from early 1993 and continues to work. In the development sector, he has accumulated 23 years of experience working with the diversified community and its mobilization. Having such diversified experience working, from a senior professional in NRSP to CEO in TRDP and SRSO, helped me become a leader, but I needed appropriate leadership training.

After NRSP, he had the opportunity to lead TRDP, SRSO, and now TMF, which helped sharpen my understanding of credit practices, approaches, methodology, risks, and staff management. Out of 23 years, I have been actively engaged for over 14 years exclusively in managing Micro Credit and Enterprise Development activities, including Credit portfolio, risk management, and coordination with all stakeholders. While occupying a known position in the sector, he became a board member in similar organizations in Pakistan and elsewhere.

He has been part of PMN’s Governance structure for a tenure, during which time his education further sharpened while he learned from peers in the sector. The Organization he is leading now has a very ambitious plan of growth while adopting technology and wants to become a risk-free growth organization in the future.
