Sabin Popa

I’m a Business Analyst Consultant with 10+ years of experience in Data Warehouse and regulatory environments within the banking sector. I deliver solutions for leading European banking groups, focusing on scalable data models and high-performance SQL that process hundreds of millions of records.

I specialize in designing scalable data models and compliant reporting frameworks for AML, FATCA, and CRS. I’ve authored functional specifications and Source-to-Target Mapping (STM) documentation to keep traceability tight between business requirements and technical implementation.

In my current role, I lead requirements engineering workshops with business stakeholders to define data needs, standardize terminology, and align with enterprise data governance practices. I coordinate UAT through test scenario design, execution support, and defect resolution—driving uninterrupted regulatory operations.

My impact is measurable: I’ve delivered zero-disruption regulatory reporting, including ensuring uninterrupted daily reporting with zero reporting failures. I’ve also refactored and re-implemented FATCA/CRS reporting flows to improve data quality, move close to full automation, and reduce manual validation effort while improving report accuracy and stakeholder validation efficiency.
