I am Saad Ahmed Siddiqui, CTO at Sorbet, working across Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I lead technology development and contribute to business growth, banking partnerships and strategic relationships across regional and international markets. My work spans virtual assets, stablecoin payments and cross-border financial infrastructure, combining blockchain expertise with commercial and partnership development. I work with banks, payment providers and industry stakeholders to develop practical use cases for virtual assets.
I want to contribute my technical and business experience to the responsible growth of Pakistan’s virtual asset industry.
