I just finished up back-to-back six-month contracts at Target and Alexion. They were great because they allowed me to work with the BIG brands and learn the “enterprise” way of doing things.
It also allowed me to add my second “$billion” dollar project to my resume, as I had a chance to build and manage the launch of their database to support their $2 Billion investment with Black-Owned Businesses. In 2005, I also had the opportunity to work directly with the Google team that invested $1 billion in AOL.
Next up, no more projects; I am looking for a full-time staff role. If I had one takeaway from these projects, it is that I want the chance to build, implement, and drive — the end-to-end process for my next role. The previous projects gave me great tech and team insights, but once I built my piece, then I handed it off, and they took over its future. For the next job, I want to be in it for the long run,
