Who are you and what do you do at Deloitte?
This is the fifth year that I have been working with Deloitte
in the audit sector. I am a Manager, and have recently
moved to the London office and joined the Technology, Media and
Telecommunications group, specialising in the audit of media companies.
My daily activities involve meeting personnel of various functions
across companies, understanding the way their businesses work
in order to deliver a seamless service.
Why Deloitte? What motivated you to join us in the UK?
Deloitte's global presence fit in perfectly with my upbringing
in multi-cultural Dubai. I joined the Dubai office late in 2002
and four years later was seconded to the London office with the
Global Development Programme which strives to manage and link
teams of people in a changing global economy. This perfectly encompasses
the Firm's international presence and appeals to my pursuit for
diversity in the workplace.
Have you had a mentor (or role model) who contributed to
your success as a professional? How did that person impact your
career?
I believe that success as a professional comes from an individual’s
personal strengths as well as from receiving input from people
in your immediate surroundings. I cannot say that there has been
one particularly strong influence, but I do believe that it was
a collective influence from all the professionals I worked with.
Tell us a bit more about yourself?
It's funny that you mention this. Just the other day I was
called a construction guru by one of my colleagues in the Dubai
office, while over here I'm developing expertise in the media
sector. I suppose this is all a testament to the variety of options
that are available to me.
