About Me

Languages
English

I am a seasoned Business Consultant specializing in Transformation and Process-Optimization initiatives to empower leaders with the tools, strategy and methodology to achieve long-term success in their industry.

I engage stakeholders on all levels to participate in workshops to ensure consultation is comprehensive and thorough so that key business participants are well represented.

I add value through the delivery of artifacts such as business cases, project charters, project documentation for requirement gathering and validation, go-live deployment plans, training and support.

I translate technical requirements into business function for solution delivery and love building relationships to obtain alignment in creating a future-state that is scalable, sustainable and will elevate your business to the next level.

    One of the best Business Analysts I've worked with. We struggled with BA work prior to Julian joining the team, and he stepped in and due to the quality of his work we were able to get the requirements captured, documented, and in the hands of the devs. I would choose to work with Julian again on any future project. I trust that he will provide high quality work.
