Hi, I’m

Asma Zafar

Founding SDR & Executive Partner
Asma Zafar

Summary

I have been the first sales hire at two founder-led services firms: a go-public advisory and a healthcare custom-software studio. Hired as an SDR, I quickly expanded into executive partnership, supporting proposal development, intern management, and talent referrals. I introduced workflow automation, documented a sales playbook, and led large-scale conference outreach while recruiting and mentoring five SDRs and interns, two now promoted. I deliver data-driven pipelines, value-driven client messaging, and dependable executive support, working EST hours from Pakistan and coordinating fully remote teams.
