Reshma Ganesh
@reshmaganesh
With over 10 years of experience in the IT industry, I have honed my skills as both a Business Analyst and a Data Analyst.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Business Analyst with 10+ years of IT experience, including 7+ years delivering end-to-end business analysis for complex, enterprise-scale programs. I bridge business stakeholders and technical teams across remote and cross-cultural environments, with a strong focus on turning regulations and processes into build-ready requirements.
Currently at EY, I spearheaded end-to-end business analysis for BEPS Pillar Two global minimum tax implementation across EmaraTax (UAE) and Dhareeba (Qatar) government portals. I authored BRDs capturing functional, non-functional, regulatory, and reporting requirements, translated complex tax regulations into user stories with detailed acceptance criteria, and validated FSDs and system prototypes/wireframes.
I also build confidence through rigorous UAT governance—developing detailed test plans, tracking defects through the full lifecycle, and driving business sign-off. I act as the primary liaison across tax subject-matter experts, business stakeholders, and distributed technical teams across UAE, Qatar, and India, ensuring sprint goals stay aligned to real-world operational needs.
My work spans multiple domains and delivery modes, including freelance/contract roles in insurance ERP replacement and process redesign, UNHCR infrastructure tooling analysis, and enterprise SharePoint intranet redesign with user-centric prototypes. Earlier, at EY, I led a team of 8 and used Power BI, Python, and Alteryx to reduce manual reporting by ~40%, while automating cross-functional reporting to cut preparation time by 60%.
