Mr Muhammad Aliuddin Ansari, new CEO of Engro Corporation

Aliuddin Ansari has been appointed as new CEO and President of Engro Corporation. The news of his appointment propped up few hours after EconomyAge first reported resignation of Khalid Mansoor, CEO of Engro Fertilizer, which upside down the corporate and business world.

It is matter of fact that the new head is junior having little association with Engro group compared with Khalid Mansoor, who was senior board member and considered as crucial part of the organization for long time.

Khalid Mansoor has been board member since 2005. He was a Senior Vice
President of Engro Corporation Limited since January 2012 and two subsidiaries of the conglomerate– Engro Fertilizers Limited and Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company.

However, Aliuddin Ansari is one of the directors of Engro Corporation and has been associated with the company since 2009.

Sources in the company told EconomyAge on condition of anonymity that Khalid was resigned while citing personal reasons but he had been in tense relationship within organization board members, which became a hurdle in his way to become Engro head.
