COOProfile.

I am Armoghan Tallat Khan, COO and Co-Founder of PIFFERS Security Services (Pvt.) Ltd. I have a vast and versatile experience in the field of HSSE. After completing my Master's Degree in Business Administration (Marketing) with distinction from Pakistan, I worked for the corporate and development sectors in Pakistan including the banking industry and the United Nations. After that I moved to Britain, where I completed my Chartered Marketing and MS in Marketing.

I am a Licensed Chartered Marketer. In order to keep this licence valid one has to complete 35 CPD hours (Continuing Professional Development) every year. Consequently, in order to keep my licence valid I kept upgrading myself.

In 2009, Oxford University released an economic study with the name of New Economic Powers. The research concluded with the BRIC model — how Brazil, Russia, India and China will become world leading economic powers by 2030. I was also a part of that course and successfully completed my certification from Oxford University, England.

During my stay in Britain, I worked in the security industry and later we established our own security company, PIFFERS Security Services (Pvt.) Ltd. In this pretext I did many courses and certifications related to Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE), Risk Management, Crowd Management and related disciplines. In 2010 I repatriated to Pakistan.

In continuation to my CPD, I have also completed Masters in Project Management. I have been a Visiting Faculty Member of various universities of Islamabad and its vicinity. My speciality includes Strategic Brand Management, Strategic Planning, Advertising, Strategic Sales Management and Labour Market Trends.

Apart from teaching, I wrote several articles related to Risk Management, the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Security and Adoption of a Centralised Licensing System for the Private Security Industry. In 2018 I had the privilege to attend the National Security Workshop from National Defence University (NDU). I have served as Vice Chairman of APSAA from October 2018 till September 2019. I also served as Convener of the Security Committee of FPCCI from January 2019 till December 2020. Currently I am heading the Security Committee in the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
