What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in project management and financial analysis while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am an industrial engineer with over 17 years of experience in various sectors, including banking, IT, telecom, and outsourcing. My career has been marked by a strong focus on financial modeling, business planning, and project management. Currently, I serve as a Planning & Analysis Senior Manager at Reflect, where I lead financial and strategic planning initiatives, build financial models, and manage key partnerships.

Previously, I held the position of Head of Benefit Management at Arab Bank, where I established a comprehensive Benefits Management Process and reported on benefits realization to executive committees. My experience also includes managing projects at Capital Bank and Estarta Solutions, where I implemented quality monitoring systems and led teams to enhance operational efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive organizational success and optimize financial performance.
