    • Siemens

      Dec 2003 - Aug 2009

      As Process Analyst I was responsible for global end-to-end knowledge management within a global service desk environment. Working for Siemens IT Solutions as an outsourcing partner to Morgan Stanley, I maintained work instructions, break & fix documents, processes, participated in RCA sessions and change releases. I had a regular in-person cadence/alignment with VP of IT in Canary Wharf and daily discussion with key members of the local onsite team in Morgan Stanley London. Proactively identified volume spikes in advance based on data analytics and trend analysis. Show less
