What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to lead IBM Planning Analytics/TM1 finance transformation, planning, budgeting, reporting, and dashboard initiatives while collaborating with cross-functional teams and delivering measurable client outcomes.

I build planning, budgeting, profitability, KPI analysis, and reporting models using IBM Planning Analytics/TM1 for clients across the Middle East and Asia.

As an independent consultant for 1Direction Global, I've led projects from requirements analysis through design, execution, and closing for organizations including Al Rabie Saudi Foods, Riyad Bank, Novo Nordisk, Mawgif, and Al Qahtani Group. I design PAW and PAX reports and dashboards that support corporate performance analysis and management decision-making.

Previously at EY, I delivered financial controls, business process, compliance review, and enterprise risk management engagements for telecom and data center clients. I also managed a GST rollout program for a major telecom service provider and mentored junior consultants.

My earlier work includes program management during Reliance Jio's 4G deployment and systems engineering in the telecom domain at Infosys Technologies. I bring experience across finance transformation, FP&A, risk and controls, and cross-industry planning practices.
