Organizations applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real, production environments
What I Bring
Capabilities shaped by 25 years of building products in complex industries — especially where AI, data, and real-world constraints intersect.
Building Product Functions From Zero
I've been the first product hire three times — building the entire function from zero: people, practices, and strategy. I bring structure to ambiguity quickly.
Navigating Regulated Industries
I build in regulated environments — where policy, compliance, and incentives shape every decision, including how AI systems are designed, deployed, and governed.
Scaling Complex Software
I've taken products from niche to category leader and platforms from early traction to national scale — including systems that rely on data, automation, and AI-driven decision making.
Bridging Technical and Strategic
I started as a developer and still build. I can go deep with engineering, make real tradeoffs, and lead across the stack with credibility — including modern data and AI systems.
The Work
25 years building products in complex, regulated industries
How I Help
Embedded Product Leadership
Fractional or project-based leadership for teams that need senior direction without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Executive & Founder Coaching
Helping leaders build product intuition, strengthen team leadership, and think more strategically — including how to integrate AI into products and organizations.
Direct Delivery
When the fastest path to clarity is building — internal tools, data systems, AI prototypes, or custom products — I step in directly.
Why OM76
I'm Ani Achugbue, founder of OM76.
I started OM76 because I kept meeting founders and small business leaders who needed the kind of product and operational thinking that usually comes with expensive hires. So I made it available on my terms: direct, hands-on, no overhead.
Behind OM76 is 25 years of building — from writing code to leading product organizations across government tech, consumer platforms, and regulatory SaaS. The through line: making complex things work for the people who depend on them.
