Regional Understanding. Permanent Ownership. Global Software Experience

Our Role

Why Regional Understanding Matters

Transactions are not completed by financial models alone. Ownership history, family interests, customer relationships, local regulation, talent markets and business culture can all shape both the process and what responsible ownership looks like afterward.

Boson’s roots in Pakistan, and its connection to substantial software operating capability in the region, allow it to approach these realities with familiarity rather than from a distance.

Our Team

Initial enquiries are handled directly by the two people who lead the acquisition conversation.

Bilal Mahmood

Managing Director, Boson

Markham, Canada

Hira Zainab

VP Strategic Affairs, Boson

Islamabad, Pakistan

Bilal Mahmood leads Boson Group and is the senior point of contact for owners considering a transaction. Hira Zainab leads strategic affairs and works with owners and advisors from the first conversation through to completion.

Between them they hold the acquisition conversation from start to finish. An owner writing to Boson is writing to the people who make the decision, not to an intermediary.

Thinking about succession?

Let’s Connect

Whether you are considering a sale today or thinking about it years from now, an initial conversation is simply a way to understand whether our long-term approach matches what you want for the company. You do not need to have decided to sell, you do not need a data room, and you do not need to present the business to us.
