How Goldman Sachs Rolled Out a Global Smart Building Program Across 94 Sites—Without Losing Control

December 14, 2025

This NexusCon 2025 presentation walks through how Goldman Sachs is executing one of the most ambitious smart building programs in the industry—spanning 94 sites across retrofits, new construction, and live deployments. Tim Cook, Vice President at Goldman Sachs, is joined by Matt White, Principal at Intellibuild, and Jeremy Richmond, Co-Founder of MSIe, to unpack how they built the governance, technical architecture, and delivery muscle required to move fast without breaking things.

Rather than focusing on a single building, the presentation zooms out to show how a global owner aligns facilities, IT, cybersecurity, vendors, and integrators around shared outcomes. The result is a repeatable operating model for deploying smart building capabilities at scale under real regulatory, schedule, and risk pressure.

Behind the paywall, you’ll see what actually breaks when owners try to scale OT programs—and how this team fixed it. The speakers get specific about why API-only strategies fell apart, how shifting tech-risk requirements forced architecture pivots, and why Goldman built a device qualification lab to test sensors, protocols, and data paths before deployment.

They share how governance tooling exposed failures early, how OT asset inventories were reconciled across CMMS, network scanning, and analytics platforms, and how transparency—while uncomfortable—enabled faster decisions and fewer wasted dollars. If you’re an FM, OT, or portfolio leader trying to scale smart buildings across regions, vendors, and regulatory regimes, this recording shows what it really takes to do it without losing control.
