These roles have given me the valuable opportunity to learn how to manage a company, and to conceptualize possible technology solutions for customers of various industries.

o Finding potential partners and maintain meaningful relationships using various channels & networking events o Doing extensive research in technology trends and potential global markets such as UAE, USA, Singapore for market expansion o Working closely with the Development team & Marketing team to consult and provide solutions for partners o Organizing international conferences & business matching events for global partners o Preparing Sales kit materials, including Company profile, Cases studies & Proposal presentations To best deliver the service to customers, the BD team must first research their business, understand their purpose & pain points before providing advisory. Then, we have to work closely with our delivery team to provide the best solutions possible within the agreed timeframe.

The role of the BA is to bridge the gap between business and technology. Utilizing my knowledge in business and finance, I was able to translate business needs and strategy into technical terms for the IT teams. During my time at Deloitte, I learnt about the inner working of a bank and its security systems, while also assisting my team in implementing AML & Anti-Fraud System for our clients.
