About Saud
I help organisations deliver complex technology and business transformation with clarity, structure and strong stakeholder alignment. As an independent consultant, I specialise in project management, change management and digital transformation across ERP, CRM, EPM, e‑commerce and reporting environments.
I’ve led multi‑region and multi‑stream programs involving new systems, complex integrations, APIs, data migration, UAT, cutover and operational change. My experience spans manufacturing, FMCG, retail, e‑commerce, NFP and enterprise environments, giving me a strong understanding of how operations, finance, supply chain and digital teams work — and how to bring them together during transformation.
I support finance teams through EPM uplift, reporting redesign and Power BI improvements, helping organisations move from manual spreadsheets to structured, reliable reporting. I also run business process reviews, map current‑state and future‑state processes, and help teams simplify workflows to improve efficiency and adoption.
Clients value my calm, structured approach and my ability to operate client‑side as an embedded delivery partner. I run workshops, manage risks and dependencies, coordinate cross‑functional teams and support readiness, training and adoption. I also build PMO frameworks, governance models and reporting structures that help leaders make informed decisions and maintain momentum.
Typical projects I support include ERP/CRM implementation, digital transformation, PMO setup, change management, process improvement, e‑commerce delivery, finance transformation and cross‑functional project leadership. I focus on simplifying complexity, aligning stakeholders and delivering outcomes that improve operations, visibility and decision‑making.
Available for interim consulting, SOW‑based engagements, project leadership, change management, PMO support and digital transformation delivery.
