In the U.S., he started his career as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs. In 2002, he returned to Pakistan and joined his family media business and subsequently launched Pakistan's first private news channel in the fall of 2002. In 2009, he returned to the U.S and received his Master of Public Administration degree from the Harvard Kennedy School in 2010.[4][5] He is the recipient of Robert F. Kennedy Award for Excellence in Public Service for his contribution towards the Lawyers' Movement. He was named World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders in 2011.[6] Personal lifeMir Ibrahim Rahman belongs to a prominent media family. He is the eldest son of the media mogul and philanthropist Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman and the grandson of newspaper magnate Mir Khalil ur Rehman. His extended family owns Jang Group, the largest group of newspapers in Pakistan.[7] Rahman met and married Sheena Hadi while both of them were studying at Harvard. Rahman and Hadi have a daughter named Asha.[8] Education and early careerIn 2000, Rahman graduated summa cum laude from Babson College with honours in economics, finance and entrepreneurship. After his graduation, he worked as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs specialising in media and telecom. After a brief stint with the investment banking and securities firm, he returned to Pakistan in 2002.[9] Until 2002, the electronic media in Pakistan was largely dominated by state-owned institutions like Pakistan Television Corporation and the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation. This monopoly was thwarted when the Musharraf regime regulated electronic media allowing for private television channels to be operated independently. It was during this liberalisation of the media in Pakistan that Rahman saw an opportunity to expand his family business. In 2002, he co-founded the privately owned television network, Geo TV. What started as a 5-member operation out of a hotel room turned into one of largest television broadcast networks in Pakistan. Geo TV was later recognised as a pertinent driver of change in the media landscape of the country. "Geo has changed Pakistan's media landscape, consistently challenging the monopoly-and monotony of state-run Pakistan Television, or PTV."[12] "For the first time, analysts say, television in Pakistan is reflecting this predominantly Muslim country's diverse society and offering an independent source of news."[10] Rahman has since served as the CEO of the television network that now employs more than 2,500 workers across the globe. In 2009, he joined the Harvard University John F Kennedy School of Government while pursuing his master's degree in public administration.[9] He later had to take a sabbatical alongside his wife Sheena following her pregnancy.[8] Sheena was also a fellow Harvard alumni pursuing her master's degree in education. Rahman also serves as a member of the Young presidents' Organization in Pakistan, a charter member of the Indus Entrepreneur and the director of Mir Khalil ur Rahman Foundation.[11] Awards and recognitionIn 2010, Rahman and his television network were recognised for their "contribution in the historical Lawyers' Movement that revived independent judiciary in Pakistan".[5] He became the first Muslim and the second South Asian to receive the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Award for Excellence in Public Service from the Harvard Kennedy School recognising signs of future potential leadership and a deep commitment to public service. Rahman has been lauded for his network's efforts in promoting peace between India and Pakistan and other ground breaking work that helps the overcoming of differences in religion, culture and ethnicity.
