About Me.

My mission is decoding how technology rewrites the rules of business and using that knowledge to help organizations and founders dominate their markets and multiply their profits.

Isaac Akanni isn’t just another digital transformation advisor.

He’s the one blue-chip companies and ambitious founders call when actual results are needed.

His processes are not based on theory, but on practical knowledge from getting his hands dirty with real work.

Isaac’s day to day activities involves leading end-to-end technology implementations, orchestrating strategic business reviews, synchronizing cross-functional teams, and engineering bespoke solutions that don’t just promise growth but deliver it, all while maintaining experiences that set the gold standard.

In the oil and gas industry where he launched his career, Isaac spearheaded digitization for retail fuel operations, commanded B2B fuel management platforms, and built business intelligence systems that saved millions by exposing the sharp practices bleeding profits across the ecosystem. 

Isaac holds advanced credentials in Strategic Innovation and Business Development from the prestigious Lagos Business School, Digital Transformation from the International Business Management Institute in Berlin, and a Diploma in Leadership Development from the African Leadership Development Center, Lagos. 

Isaac also regularly contributes to the tech ecosystem, delivering insights at Google Developer Groups, the Nigerian Insurers Association, Ghana Customer Experience Professionals Network, Datafest Nigeria, and various industry conferences.

When away from work, Isaac pursues his passion for travel and immerses himself in diverse cultures, cuisines, and historical landmarks.
