@noksgazi
I turn complex regulatory and business problems into practical transformation outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I've led business analysis and transformation delivery for Smart DCC, Wellcome Sanger Institute, easyJet, Network Rail, Barclaycard, TUI and Avon Cosmetics.
At Smart DCC, I led stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, delivery and resource planning, BA quality assurance, and change control across complex delivery activity. I also provided line-management and analytical leadership while helping senior stakeholders structure ambiguous problems.
My work spans discovery, options analysis, business cases, process redesign, governance, regulatory interpretation, requirements traceability, UAT and risk management. I've managed BA teams, established analysis standards, and facilitated workshops across regulated, high-volume and technology-enabled environments.
Alongside consulting, I bring legal training, an MSc in Psychology and trauma-informed psychotherapy practice. I'm particularly interested in remote and international assignments involving AI governance, human oversight, research, process improvement and cross-functional change.
