Work experience
Vice President – Analytics & AI (Emirates NBD)
Banks • Full-time
Aug 2011 - Sep 2022 • 11 yrs 1 mo
At Emirates NBD, one of the largest banks in the Middle East, I wasn’t building reports. I was replacing manual work. Most teams relied on Excel for daily operations, but everything was manual: copying data, consolidating files, building reports from scratch. It was slow, error-prone, and consumed hours every week. I redesigned these workflows from the ground up. Instead of people working inside Excel, I built systems where Excel worked for them, automating processes, structuring data, and generating reports instantly. Over time, I developed and deployed 200+ automation and analytics solutions used across large teams, turning fragmented processes into scalable systems. The impact wasn’t just faster reporting. It was a shift from manual effort… to automated, reliable workflows that deliver clear insights and support better decisions. That’s the same approach I bring today: eliminate repetitive work, and turn data into something that actually works for you.
J. Engagement Manager
McKinsey & Company • Full-time
Aug 2005 - Jun 2011 • 5 yrs 10 mos
At McKinsey & Company, a global strategy consulting firm, I worked with large organizations to solve complex operational and performance challenges. This wasn’t about tools. it was about understanding how businesses run. I helped design KPI frameworks, restructure reporting processes, and improve how data was used to drive decisions. Many organizations had data, but lacked clarity, structure, and actionable insights. The work focused on identifying inefficiencies, simplifying processes, and building systems that could scale. This experience shaped how I approach every project today: not as an Excel task, but as a system to design where data, processes, and reporting all work together.
