Dec 2015 – Nov 2016

At a time when customer satisfaction was low, I joined the team
that ultimately contributed to increasing the NPS scores by 8%,
the biggest increase in one year. To start with, I identified 30+ of
top issues and improvement opportunities across different dimensions, based on sources like benchmarking studies, service
indicators, and complaints data. I led workshops with business
units to determine root causes and action plans for appropriate
solutions. I then consolidated all plans in centralized repository
for tracking and reporting purposes. Finally, I contributed to an
executive bi-monthly customer experience council to surface
pain points, get support on and present status of remedial actions.

SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST
Bank Al-Jazira

Jun 2014 – Oct 2015

Transforming customer onboarding processes for individuals
and entities was my biggest achievement, which contributed to
a significant increase in net customer acquisition & better AML
compliance. To understand current challenges, I began by surveying the as-is, including people, processes, and tools. I
outlined the gaps that needed to be bridged in collaboration with
stakeholders and end users, & analyzed all applicable AML regulations that needed to be enforced. I created and managed the
requirements for a phased program to enhance all aspects of
customer onboarding, including frontline systems, branch and
backend processes. Throughout, I ensured ongoing considerations were given to change management activities.

BUSINESS ANALYSIS MANAGER
Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Jan 2011 – Apr 2014

In leading the BA team at SADAD (Saudi’s national payment system serving +90% of nation’s payments), I’m proud to have
transformed the BA capability into a mature organization
aligned with industry best practices and certified at CMMI Level
3 and ISO 9001:2008. With this strong foundation, we led the
transformation of SADAD’s business architecture as part of a
multi-year program to revamp SADAD’s enterprise architecture
to support planned growth initiatives. This entailed creating
SOA-based service catalog of ~20 services, re-engineering ~30
processes and managing a catalog of 200+ requirements (functional, non-functional) with full bi-directional traceability using
HP Quality Center. I have also led a cross-functional Six Sigma
initiative to identify internal opportunities for operational improvement, and led a parallel initiative to identify and manage
KPIs for all departments.

TESTIMONIAL
“Ala is certainly a professional BA
with great communication skills.
I’ve had the pleasure of working
with him on improving 3 of our
critical processes. I really admire
his exquisite attention to details.
He is a good listener and can pick
up on small hints and observations to draw a larger picture of
how the system will look and behave. He has great design skills,
as evident in the prototypes he
demonstrates. He is also a fast
learner and was able to learn
about our business domain in a
very short time.”

I led all BPM engagements for an international ECM provider,
which spanned 10+ processes of various complexities for 3

role in creating and managing the scope, objectives, plans and
deliverables including training. I also managed stakeholders’

sign-off of projects deliverables.

As part of a strategy to increase employees’ efficiency, I led the
conceptualization and design of mobile field merchandising
app with backend admin functionalities. Through user-centered design, I interviewed and contextually observed end
users in order to elicit requirements that supported/enhanced
