About Raeesa Nawal Ebrahim

Currently, I am focused on improving efficiency for clients by using creative problem solving and robot process automation to design solutions and develop new digital tools that maximize testing productivity. I have a strong background in finance that is mainly concentrated in the consumer goods and banking fields, which supports a deep understanding of system capability and business needs as I transition from financial model development to application and emerging technology consulting. I am an advanced user of Excel, Access, TM1, ReconNet, and ZM desk, with experience working on agile teams. In addition to creating and improving tools, I am also experienced in distilling and modeling large data sets in various scenarios, including forecasting, what-if situations, risk, revenue, and variance analyses. I\'m a graduate of Southern Methodist University\'s school of Economics - I demonstrate well-developed critical thinking skills and business acumen, proven by my Bloomberg Aptitude Test score, which ranks in the 96th percentile. As an economist and a fiercely logical thinker, I am fascinated with emergent data patterns and how to use them to maximize efficiency. I am constantly analyzing the world around me - I\'m known to extrapolate and forecast analyses to answer questions as simple as when the optimal time to leave the parking lot is in order to avoid traffic. Efficiency is key to maximizing the growth and effectiveness of any organization. I am dedicated to producing data models that will ensure the right decisions can be made and will promote long-run success.
