Hello, I’m Faiçal Yaakoubi, a Senior IT Professional with 23 years of experience spanning IT business analysis, software development, maintenance and project management. I excel at bridging trading operations and IT, designing data models and interfaces that empower better decision-making in power, LNG and commodity trading. I have led requirements for large cloud analytics projects, built front-end tools on SQL Server data, and delivered automated reporting and dashboards in Tableau and Power BI. I’m known for turning complex requirements into practical solutions and delivering value through cost savings and efficiency improvements across projects. Most recently at Cargill, I acted as product owner for Trading Analytics within the Alvean JV, managed backlogs, conducted feasibility studies, and led migration to cloud environments. I’ve also set up IT in new locations, integrated ETRM/Triple Point CXL, Trayport broker tools, and built interfaces to diverse systems. I enjoy collaborating with trading, IT and logistics teams to optimize data flows and enable timely, accurate decision-making.
