Lahore-born marketing strategist Maleeha Saadat has joined ACCA as Marketing Manager for South Asia and North Oceania, bringing over six years of cross-industry growth marketing experience.
Maleeha Saadat has taken on the role of Marketing Manager for South Asia and North Oceania at ACCA, the global body for professional accountants, effective October 2026. The position is based remotely from the London area.
The appointment brings to ACCA a marketer who has spent most of the last decade building go-to-market strategies across some of the most competitive sectors in modern business, including artificial intelligence, clean energy, SaaS, and real estate.
Saadat’s career trajectory is unusually broad for someone at this stage. She began in advertising at Packages Real Estate in Lahore, spent a year at Educative, the tech-driven learning platform, then moved into clean energy as a Growth Marketer at Rondo Energy in San Francisco, where she ran full-funnel campaigns across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta. Most recently, she served as Product Marketer at Hyly.AI, an AI-powered real estate marketing platform, on a contract basis.
Her academic foundation is equally rigorous. She holds a Master’s degree in Marketing Analytics from Purdue University, where she also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Brand Management, Vice President of the Krannert Graduate Marketing Association, and Manager at the Purdue Memorial Union. She earned her undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance from the Lahore University of Management Sciences, one of Pakistan’s most competitive institutions.
Between her last role and the ACCA appointment, Saadat used an eleven-month career break productively, completing certifications in AI tools and automation to sharpen her applied skills in modern marketing workflows, including Claude AI certificates.
She also spent time in product management at Dow Jones, where she worked across Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal.
At ACCA, Saadat will be responsible for market presence, positioning, and campaigns across two significant regions, South Asia and North Oceania, which represent a substantial share of ACCA’s global membership and student base.
Team MediaBites congratulates Maleeha Saadat on this well-earned appointment and wishes her every success in her new role.
