Islamabad, Pakistan · Open to Relocation

I am Dr. Rashid Ishaq, a senior dairy professional with over 13 years of hands-on experience in large-scale farm management and operational optimization. My career has been defined by a singular focus: building dairy systems that are productive, sustainable, and scalable.

At Interloop Dairies Limited, I advanced from Team Leader to Herd Manager, playing a central role in scaling a 160-acre, state-of-the-art farm from 3,000 to 10,000+ Holstein-Friesian cattle — and increasing annual milk production from 13 million to 50 million liters.

By combining veterinary expertise with operational leadership, I have consistently delivered measurable improvements in herd growth, productivity, and efficiency. I approach every challenge through data — leveraging farm management platforms, KPIs, and analytics to make informed, impactful decisions.

Beyond the numbers, I am passionate about people. Building and mentoring high-performing teams, adapting to diverse cultural environments, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement are as important to me as the operational metrics.

I am actively seeking global leadership opportunities where I can apply my expertise to future-ready dairy and livestock operations.
