As project Director for core banking system implementation, my role banking system) projects, multiple at a time for some cases.
This involves planning, budgeting, cost/finance control, resourcing, tasks execution and QA/QC to monitoring toward closing projects and deliver as planned, on time, within budget and complying with quality parameters, assuring product benefits out of the project result.

During the last five years I have completed successfully 3-4 challenging projects, around the world, (Yemen/Egypt, Ukraine, Lebanon and KSA).

Over the past years, I completed a project for a bank of average size on-time, within budget and under the quality standards as agreed with client at the outset. With limited capacities and resources constraints, had to play the role of lead business and lead technical at the same time with hands on training and deep involvement in implementation. Helped to generate additional revenues added to the project profit. Promoted consequently to the Project Director position in Central and Eastern Europe region.

I have led another 2-phase project flawing because of difficulties with previous project governance, with help of 2 project managers, I have rebuilt the project parts re-engineering some of them and reverse engineering other parts to create a stabilised environment, based in clear and realistic plan agreed with the client taking the project smoothly and successfully to closing stage achieving rollout plan for first 8 branches.
Appointed thereafter to save another failing project where many attempts failed to bring the project back in shape. Have worked with onsite and offshore team to complete the work in progress. Then re-based line the scope and carried on with execution until bringing the project to successful closing stage agreed and accepted by the bank.

Led a project functional team for one of the most important implementations in the company running one of the biggest Tier 1 bank in the Middle-East. Challenges were to deal with messy environment and extensive requirements and many risks to assure creating a viable product taking the project to next stage of software development.

In all projects I am managing cost control vs. the budget and leading onsite and offshore/virtual teams toward successful delivery.
