Advisory Services

Deep Expertise,
Practical Outcomes

Five interconnected advisory domains, refined over 20 years of enterprise practice across banking, government, and corporate sectors.

Capability 01

Data Architecture
& Strategy

Designing the backbone of enterprise data operations — scalable, governed, and built to evolve with the business.

What This Looks Like in Practice

I've designed and deployed enterprise data warehouse architectures from scratch — including defining all data layers (staging, metadata, DWH, data marts), building ETL pipelines, and implementing administration and monitoring frameworks.

At Saudi Post, I owned the full BI architecture from infrastructure selection through to production — including dynamic staging areas with automatic schema change detection, row-level security integrated with Active Directory, and custom administrative dashboards for system health monitoring.

Key Deliverables I Provide

  • End-to-end data architecture blueprints (logical & physical)
  • ETL/ELT pipeline design with error handling and DQ gates
  • Semantic layer / repository design (OBIEE, SAP Universe, Power BI datasets)
  • Code standards, testing methodologies, and SDLC governance
  • Data pipeline monitoring and administration frameworks
  • Legacy system integration patterns
Capability 02

Business Intelligence
& Analytics

Transforming data into decision-ready intelligence — dashboards, reports, and analytical models that executives trust and use.

Platform-Agnostic BI Leadership

I have deep, production-grade experience across the four leading enterprise BI platforms. This platform breadth means I advise based on what's right for your context — not the tool I happen to know best.

At Alinma Bank, I lead the SAP BO and Tableau implementation strategy, owning the semantic layer (Universes), developing technical specifications, and ensuring all analytics deliverables meet the governance requirements of a regulated financial institution.

Key Deliverables I Provide

  • Executive dashboard design and development
  • KPI framework design and scorecard implementation
  • Semantic layer (Universe / repository) optimization
  • Self-service analytics rollout and training programs
  • BI platform assessment and vendor selection advisory
  • Write-back solutions and advanced interactivity
  • BI usage tracking and ROI measurement
Capability 03

Data Governance
& Quality

Building the policies, processes, and tooling that make data a trusted, auditable, and regulated asset — not a liability.

Governance That Actually Gets Used

Most data governance programs fail because they become compliance exercises divorced from day-to-day work. My approach builds governance into the data pipeline itself — automated DQ checks, stewardship workflows, and lineage documentation that developers maintain naturally.

Recent certifications in Data Stewardship, Data Governance, and Data Ethics (2025) complement my hands-on practice deploying Axon and EDC in enterprise environments.

Key Deliverables I Provide

  • Data governance framework design and implementation
  • Master Data Management (MDM) program setup
  • Data catalog implementation (Axon / EDC / custom)
  • Data quality rules engine and error handling
  • Data profiling assessments and remediation plans
  • Data stewardship role definition and operating models
  • Regulatory compliance data architecture (banking / government)
Capability 04

Team Building
& Leadership

Standing up high-performance data teams — from org design and hiring to standards, performance management, and culture.

Building Teams That Outlast Individuals

I've built BI teams from zero — defining roles, hiring for complementary skills, and establishing the standards, tooling, and rituals that create durable team capability. The measure of success isn't what the team delivers while I'm there; it's what they're capable of after I leave.

Key Deliverables I Provide

  • BI / data team org design and hiring plan
  • Role definitions, competency frameworks, and career ladders
  • SDLC standards, code review processes, and testing protocols
  • Onboarding programs and knowledge transfer frameworks
  • Task management and workload visibility systems
  • Interim BI management and team leadership
Capability 05

Digital & Data
Transformation

Leading the end-to-end journey from fragmented, siloed data environments to unified, analytics-first enterprise platforms.

Digital Transformation Change Management Strategy Design Stakeholder Alignment Roadmapping

Transformation with Staying Power

Transformation projects fail when they focus on technology without reshaping the processes and culture around it. My approach always pairs platform implementation with the organizational change management needed to make new capabilities stick.

I've led full-scale BI transformations in both government and banking environments — two of the most complex change contexts that exist — including managing integration with legacy systems, third-party vendors, and regulatory stakeholders.

Key Deliverables I Provide

  • Data & analytics strategy development and roadmapping
  • Current-state assessment and gap analysis
  • Platform selection and vendor management
  • Phased transformation planning with quick wins
  • Stakeholder engagement and executive communication
  • Analytics literacy and data culture programs
How I Work

A Structured Engagement Process

01
Discovery & Assessment

Deep-dive into your current data landscape, team capabilities, business objectives, and technical constraints. No assumptions, no templates — just listening and understanding.

02
Strategy & Architecture

Designing the target architecture, governance model, and technology roadmap — aligned to your organization's maturity, budget, and strategic timeline.

03
Implementation & Delivery

Hands-on execution alongside your team — building platforms, pipelines, and dashboards to a professional standard with full documentation and knowledge transfer.

04
Embed & Sustain

Ensuring the organization can operate and evolve everything we've built — through training, runbooks, team capability development, and structured handover.
