How our leadership have addressed talent shortage over time.

Staffing a large-scale Data & BI migration for a leading retail company
Powering a leading telco in an emerging market with top talent
Building and upskilling a Data & BI Team for a global financial institution
One of our founders was instrumental in driving the resourcing for the right BI team for this Thailand-based retail conglomerate with a focus on South East Asia. The South East Asian market was rapidly evolving after the COVID pandemic, and he trained senior technical leads for this client to effectively manage a new cloud-based BI data platform implementation.
Despite the complexities involved in migrating legacy Oracle BI systems and facing a tight deadline set by the PMO office led by Accenture, he successfully executed the project under a month and a half. Out of the 20 BI engineers and cloud data architects deployed, 12 were retained as full-time team members for post-implementation use cases.

With the BI team's enhanced capabilities and the data platform fully cloud-based, the client was able to quickly achieve their cross-selling targets across different business verticals. Additionally, they were able to provide key executives with a comprehensive list of omni-channel KPIs from a single source of truth.

As Group Head of Data & Analytics at one of the world’s largest telecom companies, Piero conceived a center of competence for Data Specialists in an emerging market where the company operated, serving as a talent hub for the entire Group. Many managers holding top Data & AI positions across the company today have emerged from that center.
With an objective of hiring talents for both their domestic and international operations, Piero doubled the size of their local data team, and also ensured that they have available talents for other regional offices.

Azeez led a large-scale data migration project for a UK global financial institution, where the challenge was not only technical but also involved filling a gap in skilled data professionals. He recruited and led a team of over 10 Data Engineers and Analysts to execute complex data engineering tasks and successfully migrate the existing pipelines from Oracle to Azure Synapse.
By ensuring a robust team was in place, Azeez improved data accuracy, accessibility, and availability across departments, empowering the client to make better data-driven decisions. His team-building efforts resulted in a sustainable data management process, with many engineers retained for continuous post-migration optimization work.
