I have been a part of Arthur D. Little teams that have delivered several high-level projects in the public sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and learnt tremendously in the process.

As a Business Analyst, my responsibilities are varied and diverse.

I value the constant feedback and coaching I receive as a Business Analyst - it really shows how much everyone cares about my professional development.
