"The decision to extend my internship, 10 years ago, was the best decision of my life."
Yara Haddad
Director
Many events in my life led to my current position at BI Consulting. One of them was the decision to transfer my major. I had wanted to study accounting. After being told how becoming an engineer can build my critical thinking, make me see beyond face value, and transform the way I see things I transferred my major to industrial engineering.
After graduating, I joined BI Consulting and found that my true passion was becoming a consultant. I started out as an intern, and I now am a Director with completely different set of skills, perception of work, and attitude towards life.
The supportive environment is indicative here, I recognised the culture built on values with every interaction I had. I shared the same set of values, and my perfectionist nature matched the level of excellence the firm seeks. I decided that this was where I belonged.
I learned over the years how to handle clients through effective communication, manage complex projects, and exceed client expectations, which I pass on to my team and ensure they have what it takes to execute mega projects the BI way. Every project I delivered has contributed to my personal and professional growth, cultivated my leader’s mindset, and made me a stronger, more confident woman, one that takes and manages risks. I take pride in being part of the company’s growth and my teammates’ development journey, which also made me part of the company’s building blocks.
When I am not working, I am a caring mother that puts the same attention to detail in raising my son. I love baking, decorating cake, and preparing themed family events and parties.
