Bio
Dev Kumar
Alex possesses all of the qualities that distinguish a great business analyst from a very good one; he joined a major Compliance delivery project at Shell as a Business Analyst, and very quickly took on the role of Functional Lead for multiple deliveries. He has not only grasped the Actimize models very quickly, but has an inquisitive mind and an appetite for knowledge. With excellent interpersonal skills, a pragmatic approach to an IT delivery, and an innate ability to comprehend and manage risk, he has been absolutely critical to the timely delivery of project phases to date. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him for any Business Analyst roles and particularly within the Actimize domain.
