Lead strategic consulting engagements and oversee the design and delivery of data-driven solutions that support organizational transformation, operational efficiency, and performance improvement across various industries. Specialize in bridging business strategy and data analytics, helping companies move from disconnected reports to real-time insights through customized Power BI dashboards, strong project controls, and hands-on advisory.

• Spearhead business development efforts, providing top-notch wholesale solutions to retailers, resellers, and entrepreneurs worldwide. • Empower businesses by offering reliable resources, competitive pricing, and end-to-end support. • Provide personalized wholesale solutions that cater to specific business requirements.

Help organizations turn raw data into powerful, visually compelling dashboards that drive business decisions. Work closely with clients to understand their KPIs, clean and model data, and deliver customized, interactive reports. Key responsibilities: • Design and implement end-to-end Power BI dashboards for various departments. • Transform raw data from Excel, databases, and cloud sources into clean, usable models using Power Query and DAX. • Work remotely with clients to understand reporting needs and deliver scalable, user-friendly dashboards. • Set up scheduled data refreshes and train teams on how to use and maintain dashboards. • Advise on data visualization best practices, KPI tracking, and performance optimization.

• Led the effort to develop the first platform of its kind, the Mashroat National Projects Platform (NPP), to track the performance of the Kingdom’s capital projects in terms of concise dashboards, project status reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to NPMO and other stakeholders. • Performed User Acceptance Testing, then recommended and tracked enhancements to improve system performance, resulting in a simpler and more streamlined user interface. Implemented a bi-weekly meeting with 3 other departments to discuss updates, goals, and challenges, increasing productivity by 30%. • Implemented and rolled out a training program and guide for government entities to familiarize them with the platform, Power BI, and project management best practices. This was conducted over 130 engagements with 36 entities with a current portfolio of more than $30 billion (USD). • Analyzed hundreds of thousands of data points imported into the platform to validate the information provided by government entities, while screening for discrepancies and outliers. • Created benchmarks for projects in the Kingdom by establishing trends based on various projects. • The first major adaptors of the platform include senior government officials and the Royal Court.

• Led a cross-functional team of 8 to establish a mechanism of collecting data for the entire project. Persuaded resistant team members to follow this new reporting structure. Processed the data received and established automated flags to highlight outliers and logical fallacies. Flags were sent back to the source to be revalidated. • Generated key performance indicators utilizing the collected data. Designed dashboards and reports, for executive and user levels, each customized based on the respective recipient. These showcased the progress and status of all functions on the project, providing management with insights that helped and supported the decisions they took. • Reduced the Comment Response Sheet (CRS) process time from 30 days to 5, by initiating lean techniques which improved the cycle’s efficiency, leading to acquiring a six-sigma yellow belt. • Generated approximately $4 million (USD) in savings to the Agency Staffing Plan by allocating resources efficiently and properly forecasting the required manpower for the remaining work to-go. • Introduced a new system in managing invoices and budget transfers that decreased errors by 10%, effectively reducing approval time and rework. • Directed a team of engineers and procurement specialists on how to process variation order requests, equipment releases, and estimates at completion for multi-million-dollar purchase orders.

• Developed detailed designs, simulations, and drawings for piping, valves, and mechanical equipment for chemical and gas plants for major clients such as Chevron, BG and Ascend. Provided designs with innovative solutions to improve quality, safety and operational efficiency. • Coordinated design activities between the various engineering disciplines. Reduced delays and disruption, due to poorly communicated information and inconsistencies between documentation, by ensuring collaborative practices were adopted. • Prepared proposals and feasibility study reports by interfacing with the commercial and engineering teams to analyze and justify the projects’ feasibility, business viability, and cost-effectiveness. These documents aided senior management in identifying budgeting, staffing needs, contingency planning, and risk strategy development. - Polyethylene, EPC •Validated isometric drawings against PIDs and the PDS model (Plant Design System) •Supported the piping department (Vendor documents, MOCs, Document Control, Scheduling) - PDP •Prepared process drawings (BFD, PFD, MSD, PID), process simulations (HYSYS), heat and material balance, and process equipment data sheets •Created drawing/document tracking lists and progress reports -2200 MTPD Hydrogen to Ammonia Plant, Proposal •Prepared a feasibility study report which included block and process flow diagrams, heat & material balance, equipment lists, and process descriptions. -Propane Dehydrogenation, FEED •Developed process and instrumentation diagrams as well as process data sheets -Liquefied Natural Gas, FEED •Developed a line list and performed line sizing/hydraulic calculations •Performed PSV calculations -Process Department •Provided inter-discipline coordination to maintain up to date process documentation
