Three Ways I Help GCC Banks Deliver

Every engagement is built around one job: get a portfolio of work to land on time, on budget, and in a shape your organization can run without me.

PMO & EPMO Setup

I stand up the governance, reporting cadence, and delivery structure a portfolio needs from day one.

Ideal for

Banks and financial institutions launching a new portfolio, or replacing a PMO that exists on paper but not in practice.

What's included

  • Portfolio governance design — delivery gates, escalation paths, and decision rights
  • Reporting cadence and templates built around how your leadership actually makes decisions
  • Stand-up and handover so the structure runs without me in the room

Evidence

I built an Enterprise PMO from scratch across 10+ initiatives, cutting slippage by 30-40% and lifting on-time, on-budget delivery to roughly 80-85%.

Delivery Governance & Audit Remediation

When a regulator sets the deadline, I build the PMO that gets a multi-project portfolio back on track and keeps it there.

Ideal for

Banks running a regulator-driven remediation program against a fixed deadline.

What's included

  • Rapid portfolio triage — what is at risk, what is regulator-critical, what can wait
  • Governance tightened to the timeline, not a generic delivery framework
  • Direct reporting against the regulatory deadline, not just internal milestones

Evidence

I ran the PMO for a 40-project CBUAE audit-remediation portfolio against a 6-8 month deadline — 10 of the 12 highest-priority projects landed on time.

Transformation & Target Operating Model Design

I redesign how work actually gets done — roles, handoffs, and decision rights — not just the org chart.

Ideal for

Institutions redesigning how a function operates, including outsourcing, offshoring, or technology-driven redesign.

What's included

  • Process and role redesign grounded in how work is actually performed today
  • Transition governance for outsourcing, offshoring, or new operating models
  • Staff redeployment and retraining planning where roles change rather than disappear

Evidence

I led the PMO that offshored roughly 700 roles for a Gulf retail bank, cutting headcount cost by approximately 40%, and a Tier 1 UAE bank transformation program that redeployed and retrained 100 staff into a new target operating model.

Wondering why not just hire a Big 4 firm?

Same methodology, senior accountability from day one, without the overhead.
