Naqi is a Senior Propositions Manager at Barclays with nearly a decade of experience in financial services, specialising in accessible products and inclusive design. He holds a Masters in Systems Engineering from University College London. Born with Congenital Glaucoma and losing his sight at age 7, Naqi became the first person in Pakistan to sit GCSEs using a screen reader. He went on to study engineering at university despite widespread discouragement from educators and institutions, a journey that shaped his determination to break down barriers for others. Moving to London in 2015 for his Masters, Naqi discovered Metro Blind Sports, a charity opening adapted sports to people with visual impairment. After trying 15 different sports, he found blind tennis and has since regularly reached World #1 in the sport, alongside competing in marathons and goalball. Naqi combines his professional expertise in accessible banking with his lived experience as a disability advocate and motivational speaker, working to make the world more inclusive.
