Suleman is currently CFO at ITV Studios, a role he has held for the last five years. Before this, he held a variety of senior finance roles at ITV, including director of group finance and director of investor relations. He started his career at KPMG, where he qualified as a chartered accountant.
Future said Suleman’s joining date will be communicated "in due course". He replaces Penny Ladkin-Brand, who is due to step down at the end of 28 July.
Deputy CFO Jean du Preez will lead the finance function in the interim period.
Chief executive Jon Steinberg said: "We are delighted that Sharjeel will be joining us. He brings fantastic industry experience from his roles at ITV, in particular driving growth across international markets, and I know he will be a strong addition to the Future team.
"I would also like to thank Penny for her support since I joined last year, I wish her every success for the future."
