Sheza Akhtar Butt
Sheza Akhtar Butt is a Business Analyst and Management professional with over eight years of experience spanning healthcare technology, entrepreneurship, and organizational development across Pakistan, Canada, and the United Kingdom. She holds an MSc in Business Analysis and Consulting from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, supported by the Strathclyde Business School Master's Scholarship. She also holds an MPhil in Food Safety and Quality Management and a BS (Hons.) in Biological Sciences, both from Forman Christian College, Lahore, where her undergraduate studies were supported by the merit-based Rector's Scholarship.
At NHS England, she worked closely with clinicians and administrative staff to build processes that improved digital literacy and supported digital transformation within a complex healthcare organization. She later contributed to the development of an AI Health Assistant at Touch Medical Intelligence Inc., a Canadian health-tech company. In manufacturing, she led business and operational initiatives at EGG Lighting, Glasgow, building business cases and KPI dashboards and managing procurement and project planning across multiple concurrent initiatives. Sheza's entrepreneurial background runs alongside her corporate work. At the University of Strathclyde, she supported innovation programmes and business engagement activities through the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship. She is also a graduate of the National Incubation Centre (NIC), Lahore, where she gained hands-on experience in venture development and mentorship within Pakistan's startup ecosystem.
Her research has been published in the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology. The study, "Assessing Foreign Tourists' Perceptions of Food Safety, Quality, and Hygiene in Lahore's Food Streets," looked at how socio-demographic factors and prior food safety knowledge shape tourist perceptions across the city.
At NIT, Sheza teaches Management Sciences, where she hopes to bridge academia and industry by bringing real-world projects, entrepreneurial thinking, and evidence-based problem-solving into the classroom.
