Naseem retired as a commissioned officer from the Pakistan Air Force after 25 years of successful service as a professional engineer, during which most of this time was dedicated to aircraft accident investigation.

His experience was quickly utilised by the Safety and Investigation Board of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority where he assumed the role of Technical Investigator.

He holds a strong conviction that that aviation safety can be improved through systematic education at all levels. This vision ultimately led to him establishing the Institute of Air Safety in Pakistan. His students now reside in more than thirty countries of South Asia and the Middle East. This role also enabled him the chance to see the entire aviation system in Pakistan and the neighbouring regions.

Naseem firmly believes that aviation safety can be improved rapidly if basic investments are made in education, training and motivation of strategic personnel. In some parts of the world this is not an easy task given organisational and national cultures.

In 2008 he was the sole representative from South Asia to attend the ICAO AIG 08 conference in Montreal.

He holds degrees in Engineering and Science and a Masters Degree in Business Administration as well as post graduate qualifications in aviation safety. He holds membership of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
