Akin Olaoye
AI Transformation Lead @ Independent Consulting Practice
About
I help organizations stop leaving AI on the table. With 18+ years leading enterprise digital transformation across healthcare, government, and cloud infrastructure, I've spent my career turning complex technology initiatives into measurable business outcomes. Today, that work increasingly centers on AI, helping teams adopt tools like Microsoft Copilot, Claude AI, and Power Automate to automate workflows, reduce manual overhead, and make faster decisions. My background spans some of the most compliance-heavy environments in the US notably, CMS Interoperability, HIPAA, Medicaid, and federal funding program, which means I know how to drive transformation where the stakes are high and the bureaucracy is real. I've managed portfolios ranging from $9.5M cybersecurity programs to $45M+ federal healthcare initiatives, always with a focus on delivery that sticks. What I bring to AI transformation work specifically: Practical implementation experience with Copilot, Claude AI, ChatGPT, and Power Automate AI BuilderA PM's discipline around scoping, risk, and change management which are critical when rolling out AI to non-technical teamsThe ability to translate AI strategy into roadmaps that executives approve and teams actually execute Currently consulting independently on AI adoption and process automation, while pursuing my SAFe RTE certification. If you're building an AI transformation practice, modernizing a healthcare IT program, or need someone who can own delivery end-to-end, let's connect. 📍 Nashville, TN | Open to remote and hybrid roles
