Bio
Amy Leake
Mahalia and I worked together on a complex, large-scale project for 5 months. I had the unique opportunity to be mentored by her and worked closely on complex tasks, to tight deadlines. One of Mahalia's biggest strengths is her ability to take on any challenge. She is versatile and flexible to any situation or task which I experienced first-hand working alongside her. As a mentor, she has provided me with great experience, skills, and knowledge for my career. Her experience and knowledge are valuable to any project and I would recommend her without hesitation as a Senior BA or a mentor to anyone with a passion for Business Analysis.

Role: Project Support Officer / Business Analyst Project: DCC Model Office, Smart Metering, Energy Services Whilst labeled a Business Analyst this role took the shape of something much more akin to a Project Support Officer. My time at npower was spent supporting the delivery of the project plan and driving the delivery of actions and management of RAID across the project workstreams. Demonstrating my versatility, I was able to perform both PSO duties to provide effective support of the project whilst also underpinning this with an analytical approach. • Offering Business Analysis to support the Smart Metering/SMETS1/2 solution. • Definition and support of governance and reporting processes • Management of Project Plan, Model Office Risks, Issues, Actions & dependencies. • Facilitation of Lessons Learnt sessions.
