Fehmeeda Qayum.
I joined GlaxoSmithKline as part of the formation of a regional MEA finance hub, where teams and responsibilities were being transitioned and centralised — early, wide exposure to banking coordination, payroll, month-end close, cash positioning, and payments.
I was later recruited by Shell/Wafi Energy during its divestment phase, into a more senior role covering payroll accounting, management reporting, regulatory filings to OCAC/OGRA, and P&L.
Alongside, I'm completing a Master of Management in Data for Business at UHasselt — Python, SQL, and Power BI applied to real-world reporting problems.
