2) As Country Manager (Pakistan) for Gap Inc.
1) As Redcats' General Manager, Nada:

Our Contributions In Memoriam
Maliha Henderson, 2006-2025
Budding writer and poet, sadly lost far too soon
Mature beyond her years
Daughter to Dr Naveed Hasan Henderson and Dr Philip Henderson
Maliha is a universal gift, so rudely taken by Ewing's sarcoma, who brought so much joy to so many. Gracious, humble, and multifariously talented, Maliha had a proficiency for poetic writing. Recognised and nurtured by her school, and infused with insight, enigma, and darkness, her talent was ripe. Here are just two examples of what could have been so much more:
Copyright © 2025 Maliha Henderson. All rights reserved.
Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?
unlike pocahontas
I am barred from my connection to the earth
my feet, when bare, feel the sharp edges of each stone
yet never find the soft curves that gently caress the heels of others
yet my blood yearns to seep into the mud
the tree always stumped
never flourishing
because I don't nourish it
the world is not a brightly lit canvas
simply a barren land
the paintbrush is within reach
but never quite close enough
my grey tinted glasses
cloud my perception
I am blind
but one day I will feel
the enriching spectrum
my limbs will weaken at the sight of such pigments
I will allow the supple ground
to swallow me
and soften my own sharp corners
i will become the painter
not only the admirer
i will weep at the enormity of it all
however i will never
forget the razor like stone
that led me to
such a bountiful place
where my own nature can grow
where my branches are the home of other creatures
I will awaken to the sounds of the birds
which call for the colours of the wind
LET ME GO
I know there is so much beauty in the world
That I still have to see
But I feel like I've seen enough
I am ready to part with it
I am full of rage and sadness,
And all things vulgar
And there is more ugliness within me than there is beauty on this earth
I don't understand how something so malignant can coexist with such serenity
I'm just bringing balance to the universe
I don't mind saying goodbye
If I am only a guest on this earth
Only carried by this vessel of flesh
And merely living on borrowed time,
Do I not have the right to depart
To bid farewells and leave.
For I'm simply a guest.
Please
I beg
Let me depart from this plane of existence
I don't mind taking a life
For it is my life to take.
My story was never meant to be written
For some reason it was.
But I fear there aren’t many pages left to write on.
Let me return to the shining cosmos, or the firey pits of hell.
I don’t care where I go, i just want to go.
Bury my body 60 feet underground.
Allow me to decompose at the will of nature
And do not be sad once I'm gone.
Know this fate is one I've begged and yearned for more than anything
Please my heart hurts. LET ME GO.
Dr Rafia Hasan, 1930-2022
Leading academic in psychology
Mother of Naveed Hasan Henderson
A leading psychologist and prolific academic writer, Rafia's contributions culminated as a long-serving professor and Chairperson at the Institute of Applied Psychology, University of the Punjab Lahore, and the founding director there of the Centre for Clinical Psychology.

And she had the prestige of numerous other achievements, such as establishing the Department of Applied Psychology at Sind University Hyderabad, the training of administrative staff and overseas executives, the development of scientific grading schemes, membership of NGOs, conducting of psychology examinations, gaining a Fulbright scholarship, and being awarded Government College Lahore's roll of honour.
Engr Masood Hasan CHEM-1, 1925-2020
Leading nation-builder, technologist, historian, and educator
Father of Naveed Hasan Henderson
As a former Defence Secretary of Pakistan and top-tier technologist, Masood is a noted leader of national security and symbol of statehood. He was also an avid historian, thinker, writer, educator, industrialist, and entrepreneur - and is particularly noted for computerisation of the Pakistan Ordnance Factory and PIA via his founding of EWP Computer Service, and his further founding of the Chand Bagh school, and EMMAY Associates. His memoirs are to be found in above Literature item #4.
Dr Khalifa Abdul Hakim, 1893-1959
Leading academic, philosopher, linguist, & writer
Grandfather to Dr Naveed Hasan Henderson
Dr Hakim is a former professor of philosophy at Osmania University (Hyderabad Deccan, Telangana). Also, a noted poet, critic, researcher, polyglot, translator, philologist, and author of books on inter alia 1) the philosophical, poetic, and intellectual contributions of Rumi and Iqbal,
2) natural law, and 3) the core beliefs of faith.
His education started at Lahore, followed by studies at Aligarh M.A.O. College (now Aligarh Muslim University), St Stephen’s College, Delhi (BA/MA), and Heidelberg University (PhD). His professional career started at Osmania University, where he was a founder professor of philosophy. With subsequent deputation for three years as Principal at Amar Singh College Sirinagar, he later became Director of Education in Sirinagar. In 1949 he founded the Institute of Islamic Culture, Lahore, remaining a Director till his demise in 1959. Awarded an LLD honor’s causa by Punjab University, Dr Hakim's contributions are recognized by scholars in academic journals, annual memorial lectures, and by students in Doctoral and Master’s theses.
His main interest was in promotion of the universal values of Islam found in Natural Laws in the contemporary context. He lectured in Pakistan, the US, and at various international conferences. He was a member of various commissions, including the Muslim Families Law Commission, to give practical shape to ideas reflecting liberal aspects of Islam.
As admirably elaborated in his publications, Dr Hakim was particularly influenced by Allama Mohammad Iqbal and Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi’s lines of thinking. His books are now standard texts for scholars, such as on Ghalib’s philosophical thoughts in his poetry, and poetic translation of the Bhagvad Gita in Urdu verse. His books also involved translations of philosophical works of German authors into Urdu. And his speeches at national and international fora on philosophy and religion had a powerful impact on varied audiences.
Dr Hakim was survived by his wife Khadijah, his son Arif, and his daughter Rafia - who retired as Professor and Chairperson in Applied Psychology, Punjab University, Lahore - and is survived by his granddaughter Dr. Naveed Hasan Henderson.
