TRUSTED TESTIMONIAL

Othmane has been working since 2019 as a technical consultant in the EMEA Risk Incubation team within SAS Institute in Belgium. His primary focus was on the implementation of the SAS IFRS 17 Solution, where he was able to successfully configure and customize the solution for many of our customers within the EMEA region. He has also been supporting the R&D team to develop and test new features during the development phase of our solution. Othmane is recognized by his peers as a technical expert and has been delivering advanced training modules on different occasions for our partners and customers. Othmane was able to embrace quickly new topics, has strong business acumen and has shown his strengths in solving complex problems, such as code debugging or to provide workarounds to address specific customer’s requests.

I have enjoyed my experience working with Othmane, we spent 5 years working together, I would highly recommend hiring him!

Thierry G.Manager, Consulting at SAS

I had the opportunity to work with Othmane on a project to implement the SAS for IFRS 17 solution for a joint reinsurance customer. Othmane has a perfect command of the solution's technical specifications, enabling him to provide valuable clarification and advice to end users. In addition, and more generally, his dual background in business intelligence and actuarial science makes him a high-level developer with whom business teams collaborate with ease.

Laurent BatisseIndependent Actuary and Expert Trainer in Data Science for Actuaries

Othmane worked under my supervision for a DataWarehouse project for a Life Insurance in Luxembourg.
His work always went above and beyond our expectations. He has an impressive ability for providing clear insights that helped us make crucial decision for our project.
His experience, as well as his polyvalency (Technical skills & actuarial knowledge) often allowed him to find optimally balanced solutions for our client.
I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Rachid MhaouachDeputy Head of Data Management / Head of Data Analytics

Othmane has been working with CCR Re for over a year and a half on the IFRS implementation project, having been involved in two missions:
- The main mission was to use the SAS enterprise solution for IFRS 17 as an IT expert;
- The second mission as SAS developer of data automation to SAS tables.

During both assignments, Othmane proved to be highly professional, a good listener, available and full of suggestions. His enhanced skills in IT and SAS development, combined with his training as an actuary, made our communication very easy, despite the fact that both missions were carried out in full remote and in the working environment we've known since 2020. In this respect, Othmane was an indispensable gas pedal in our understanding and grasp of the SAS solution for IFRS 17.

Lucas RichardFully Qualified Actuary - Solvency II & ALM - CCR Re

I have worked with Othmane in a very difficult situation, on an Solvency II escalation project in Portugal. He is a much focused senior consultant, dedicated and committed to the project. He has accepted the hard task of finish other consultant uncompleted and poorly documented work successfully. He is clear on reporting and always available to help others on their tasks.
I must not forget the Belgian chocolate. Thanks Othmane.
