Shan Foods is a well-known name in every Pakistani kitchen, and the brand has a strong global leader steering it forward today.
Tahir Malik currently serves as the Global Chief Executive Officer of Shan Foods, overseeing the company’s operations spread across more than 70 countries under a unified leadership structure.
Tahir Malik brings with him over 30 years of international experience in two blue-chip consumer goods companies, Procter & Gamble and Reckitt. He has worked in global leadership roles across Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Before joining Shan Foods, he served as Executive Vice President at Reckitt, one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies.
Chairperson of the board Sikandar Sultan praised Tahir Malik for his excellent track record of driving transformations, fostering innovation, building world-class organisations, and delivering breakthrough results.
Since taking charge, Tahir Malik has described his role as deeply personal, calling Shan Foods a business with an impressive global footprint, a strong brand portfolio, and an enviable position in the hearts and minds of consumers worldwide. He has expressed a clear ambition to turn Shan Foods into a truly global multinational rooted in Pakistani heritage.
The brand itself has a remarkable foundation. Founded in 1981 as a modest single-room operation in Karachi by entrepreneur Sikandar Sultan, Shan Foods has grown into a powerful global brand with a presence in over 70 countries across five continents. Its product range includes recipe mixes, plain spices, cooking sauces, cooking pastes, dessert mixes, and instant noodles.
Under Tahir Malik’s leadership, Shan Foods is well on its way to carrying the taste of Pakistan to every corner of the world.
