Data Lake Implementation

Target · Data Lake Implementation · IT: Data & Analytics › Enterprise Data Modernization Program

Lead a $6.8M enterprise data lake implementation for Target Corporation. Navigate competing business unit agendas, data governance battles, and organizational politics across 27 simulated days as Merchandising, Marketing, and Supply Chain fight over who gets access first — and who controls the data.

Identity & Access Management Overhaul

HSBC · IAM Infrastructure Overhaul · IT: Information Security › Cyber Resilience Program

Deliver a regulatory-mandated Identity & Access Management overhaul at HSBC after the FCA and PRA issue a formal Section 166 notice citing critical weaknesses in privileged access controls. Replace a 15-year-old Active Directory/LDAP identity estate with a modern Zero Trust IAM platform across 200,000 employees in 62 countries — while the bank continues to process $4.5 trillion in daily foreign exchange transactions. The regulator has set a hard deadline. The DOJ consent order from the bank's prior compliance failures adds a second layer of scrutiny. Failure means potential restrictions on HSBC's UK banking licence.

Incident Response Automation — SOC Playbook Deployment

Microsoft · Security Automation / SOAR Deployment · IT: Information Security › Cyber Resilience Program

Take over a healthy incident response automation project at Microsoft from a well-liked PM who was promoted. The Sentinel-XSOAR integration is 60% complete, the SOC team trusts the previous PM, and the vendor relationship is solid. Your challenge: earn credibility without disrupting momentum, learn the security operations domain fast, and deliver automated playbooks for the top 10 incident types — all while a small, close-knit team watches to see if you'll change things that are already working.

Mainframe-to-Cloud Migration

State Farm · Cloud Migration · IT: Modernization › Infrastructure Refresh Program

Lead a $12.5M mainframe-to-cloud migration for the largest auto insurer in the US. Navigate vendor complexity, hidden integrations, and data migration risk across 27 simulated days as the true scope of a 40-year-old system slowly reveals itself.

Manufacturing Execution System Rollout

Tesla, Inc. · MES Implementation · Global Ops: Manufacturing › Capacity Expansion Program

Lead an $8.5M Manufacturing Execution System rollout at Tesla's Gigafactory Texas — coordinating three independent vendors (Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Accenture) who don't report to you, can't agree on interfaces, and blame each other when integration fails. Navigate OT/IT convergence, production line constraints, and Elon-speed expectations across 27 simulated days on a factory floor where downtime is measured in vehicles per hour.

Oracle NetSuite ERP Implementation

WeWork · ERP Implementation · IT: ERP › Finance Systems Modernization Program

Lead a $4.8M Oracle NetSuite ERP implementation at WeWork — replacing a patchwork of QuickBooks instances, Yardi, and spreadsheets left over from the company's restructuring. The project starts clean: good budget, engaged sponsor, competent vendor. Then the CEO announces WeWork is pivoting to 'Workspace-as-a-Service' — licensing its operating model to third-party landlords. Half your requirements change overnight. The vendor contract doesn't cover the new scope. Your stakeholders disagree on what the pivot even means. Deliver an ERP that serves both the current business and a future that isn't fully defined yet.

Customer Data Platform Implementation

Nike · CDP Implementation · Sales & Marketing › Digital Marketing Program

Deploy Twilio Segment CDP at Nike to unify 200M+ customer profiles across nike.com, SNKRS, Nike App, 1,034 retail stores, and wholesale channels. What Accenture scoped as a 'standard 12-source integration' turns out to be 23+ fragmented data systems with no universal customer ID, incomplete privacy consent records across 40+ countries, and a SNKRS identity graph that doesn't match anything else. The deeper you dig, the bigger the iceberg gets.

NOC Expansion — APAC Hub

Apple · NOC Facility Build-Out & Operationalization · IT: Technology Operations › IT Operations Scalability Program

Lead a $4.5M APAC Network Operations Center expansion for Apple in Singapore. Replicate the Austin NOC's gold-standard operations — 99.999% monitoring uptime, sub-30-second detection — in a new geography with new staff, new vendors, and Apple's legendary security requirements. The standard already exists. Your job is to match it perfectly on Day 1.

Oracle Cloud ERP Rollout

Starbucks · ERP Implementation · IT: ERP › ERP Consolidation Program

Take over a failing $22M Oracle Cloud ERP implementation at Starbucks after the previous PM was removed. Rebuild trust with a frustrated SI partner, re-engage a Supply Chain VP who walked away, and present a credible recovery plan to a CFO who's ready to kill the project. Three modules, 78 legal entities, 35,000 stores, and a green coffee procurement workflow that doesn't work like widget procurement.

SAP S/4HANA Migration

Siemens AG · ERP Migration · IT: ERP › ERP Consolidation Program

Lead a €32M SAP S/4HANA migration for Siemens AG — one of the world's largest industrial conglomerates. Navigate divisional politics, data ownership wars, and an SI partner playing both sides as four autonomous business units are forced to standardize on a single ERP instance across 27 simulated days.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Integration

Nestlé · Cloud HCM Integration & Migration · HR › Workforce Digitalization Program

Lead a CHF 14M deployment of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central across Nestlé's EMENA region — 80,000 employees, 14 countries, 4 time zones, 3 works councils, and a delivery team split between Vevey, London, Bangalore, and Walldorf. The technology is proven. The coordination is not. Discover why global projects don't fail because of software — they fail because a critical issue sits unaddressed for 14 hours while half the world sleeps, and a 'yes' in one culture means something completely different in another.

ServiceNow ITSM Implementation

Deloitte · ITSM Platform Deployment · IT: Technology Operations › IT Service Management Program

Lead a ServiceNow ITSM deployment at Deloitte — the firm that sells ServiceNow implementations to clients is now deploying it internally. Replace a 9-year-old BMC Remedy instance across 30 offices and 15,000 IT users. What starts as 'just replacing a ticketing system' reveals 30 offices with incompatible workflows, a CMDB that has never existed, and an advisory partner who wants the implementation to be a client showcase. The conflict builds slowly until regional IT directors refuse to participate in UAT.

SIEM Platform Migration to Splunk Cloud

Goldman Sachs · SIEM Platform Migration · IT: Information Security › Cyber Resilience Program

Lead a $14.5M SIEM platform migration for Goldman Sachs after an OCC examination finding mandates modernization within 12 months. What was framed as a technology refresh is actually a regulatory remediation project — the OCC found critical gaps in log coverage, correlation capabilities, and incident response timelines that put Goldman's banking charter at risk. Navigate the Compliance Hammer across 27 simulated days as regulatory pressure, SOC operational complexity, and trading floor politics collide.

Snowflake Data Warehouse Migration

American Express · Data Warehouse Migration · IT: Data & Analytics › Enterprise Data Modernization Program

Lead a $9.2M Snowflake data warehouse migration for American Express. What looks like a straightforward Teradata-to-Snowflake lift reveals layers of hidden complexity — undocumented Informatica jobs, shadow ETL pipelines, PCI-DSS compliance gaps, and 15 years of legacy technical debt that nobody felt safe surfacing. Navigate the Technical Iceberg across 27 simulated days as the true scope of the migration reveals itself.

Warehouse Management System Implementation

Amazon · WMS Implementation · Global Ops: Supply Chain › Logistics Optimization Program

Lead a $4.2M next-generation Warehouse Management System deployment at Amazon's BNA5 fulfillment center in Nashville. The VP of Fulfillment Operations has mandated delivery before Q4 peak season — compressing a 9-month project into 4 months. Balance speed against governance, integrate with Amazon Robotics systems, and keep 2,000+ warehouse associates operational through the transition.
