Ali Tahir possesses expertise in financial modeling, mergers and acquisitions, analytics, business development, management consulting and 24 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "Ali is one of the most intelligent, trustworthy, creative and resourceful people I have ever worked with. He is a thoughtful and compassionate person who gives freely of his time to ensure that a project is completed with a set of superior quality deliverables. When I joined Deloitte 12 years ago, I worked closely with Ali to implement Hyperion products at two Japanese clients. His leadership on these projects was unmatched in comparison to other projects I had worked on. With virtually no training, he knew both the technical workings of the Hyperion products and how to gather and understand the requirements of our clients and he was well on his way to developing easily understandable solutions to our clients’ challenges. When I note knowledge of requirements and product, I am talking about building a chart of accounts, setting up intercompany accounts and making them functional, setting up organizational structures and logic to consolidate company affiliates and subsidiaries, etc. The clients looked to Ali as an advisor and his efforts helped the firm pitch and sell additional services. During my time spent working with him, his ability to be trusted and counted upon was remarkable and a quality I look for when assembling teams today. Ali’s business knowledge and technical skills are broad and deep and I deeply admire his unique ability to articulate his vast knowledge of topics in these areas. I stress here that his ability to articulate an idea, his understanding of a process, and his view on how a product works is an extermely rare skill, especially in our current times. I fully endorse Ali’s skills and his ability to positively impact any organization in need of improving their business processes."
