Senior Business Analyst at Noema Consulting /Axxiome Digital, improving banking processes and transaction processing time by 100%.
What I'm looking for
At Noema Consulting /Axxiome Digital, I lead business analysis for front- and back-office banking operations, translating business needs into functional solutions and detailed specifications. One process-mapping initiative delivered a 100% improvement in transaction processing time.
For Noema Consulting, I led analysis and functional testing for Agricover’s Loans Management Solution in Romania. I defined loan-origination requirements, prepared functional specifications, and supported UAT and SAP solution mapping.
As Project Manager for the Noema Consulting / Islamic Development Bank initiative, I led coordination for SAP ERP and Kissflow procurement integration. The work connected supplier records, purchase orders, receipts, invoices, payment-status updates, and budget synchronization.
Earlier, at IBL Bank and Al Mawarid Bank, I managed credit-risk projects, developed risk policies, and supported lending and credit-analysis technology. My work spans banking operations, lending, credit risk, and technology-enabled transformation.
