Lastly, you supported the smooth transition from application project to maintenance by thoroughly documenting the applications.

My focus extended to the wider impacts of change on individuals and teams, emphasizing the transition from the current situation to the new one.
Deloitte is an international platform. I worked with multinational colleagues from worldwide with different capacities, cultures, educational, and experience backgrounds.
In my role as a process introducer, business analyst, developer, and implementer with Deloitte, I created processes for various activities and programs, ensuring efficient execution. I trained thirty-six trainers in financial management and supervised their activities. I successfully managed collaboration among stakeholders, playing a crucial role in the process.
