Resume:
I face many challenges in this project on a daily basis. For starters, the automation of existing process and procedures in our department through one solution was very hard, people used to work with their own files and methods. Given this fact, every step I’m involved in is a challenge because I have to constantly sell the value of this project to my managers. I also have to sell the value of this project to the upper level managers outside of my department. I feel like a sales person at times.

“In the beginning, I started working with Okba in a different group. At that time he started developing a huge data base and its management system to help managing and following most of the GSM sites deployment activities. That was a very successful project that permitted Okba to move working for the deployment department. Now and fortunately, I am working with Okba inthe same groupe. His stated project is taking other very interesting dimensions and it didn’t approach his end yet due to its multiple perspectives and new challenges. Okba was getting bigger and bigger face to each challenge along this project and he is still performing better and better. It is really a pleasure to work close to Okba and feel his competence, gentleness and his communication skills.” Tewfik Guenoune, (Senior Specialist, Wataniya Telecom Algerie (Qtel)

I love my job because I can sit down and interview the stakeholders that are part of the project and actively listen to their concerns. Once I had the requirements and concerns noted, I set off to deliver a world class experience.

More importantly, killing them with status updates so that they had a feeling of security and being in the know
