Artificial intelligence has become one of the defining technologies of this decade. While many innovators are racing to experiment with AI, Nigerian-born product strategist and technology entrepreneur Oluwaseun Iyiola is taking a different path – building practical solutions that help businesses work smarter, make better decisions and solve real-world challenges.

Over the years, Oluwaseun has built a reputation for combining product strategy, enterprise technology and artificial intelligence to develop digital solutions that improve operations, strengthen decision-making and enhance customer experiences. Her work spans AI, enterprise architecture, digital transformation, cloud technologies and operational resilience, with a clear focus on creating products that deliver measurable value rather than simply following technology trends.

At the centre of her philosophy is a simple idea: technology should make life easier, simplify complex processes and create opportunities for both businesses and communities.

One of the clearest examples of that vision is CWORT, an AI-powered consulting workflow orchestration platform founded by Oluwaseun. The platform uses artificial intelligence, automation and intelligent workflow management to help consulting firms improve productivity, strengthen knowledge management, enhance governance and support faster, more informed decision-making.

Rather than replacing human expertise, CWORT is designed to complement it. By reducing repetitive tasks and improving collaboration, the platform enables consultants to focus on higher-value work while maintaining consistency and quality. It also reflects Oluwaseun’s broader research into responsible AI adoption and the evolving relationship between people and intelligent technologies in the workplace.

Her passion for innovation extends beyond enterprise consulting. Through Holstime, a digital marketplace for local events and experiences, Oluwaseun is exploring how technology can help strengthen communities. The platform gives event organisers better tools to reach new audiences while making it easier for people to discover activities happening around them, creating value for both businesses and local communities.

She has also brought the same innovative approach to Crabkids London, where digital commerce, automation and AI-driven customer engagement have been integrated into children’s retail. The venture demonstrates how even traditional industries can embrace emerging technologies to improve customer experiences and streamline day-to-day operations.

As Director of Lapace Services UK Ltd, Oluwaseun continues to help organisations move beyond conventional IT projects by developing scalable digital products and enterprise solutions. Through product discovery, AI integration, cloud transformation and business process automation, the company works with organisations looking to modernise their operations and remain competitive in an increasingly digital economy.

What sets Oluwaseun apart, industry observers say, is her ability to connect technology with business strategy. Drawing on her academic background in computer science and information technology, alongside executive leadership studies, she has consistently focused on turning complex business challenges into practical digital products capable of delivering long-term impact.

Her research has also contributed to wider conversations on responsible AI adoption, enterprise transformation and the future of consulting, highlighting how artificial intelligence can enhance human decision-making instead of replacing it. As an international conference speaker and guest lecturer, she regularly shares insights on AI, product innovation, Industry 4.0, enterprise technology and digital transformation with universities, professional bodies and industry audiences.

Beyond her commercial work, Oluwaseun is committed to widening access to opportunities in technology. She mentors young people through Inspiring the Future and supports initiatives with UN Women UK that promote greater diversity and representation in technology and leadership.

As organisations around the world continue to rethink how they operate in the age of artificial intelligence, leaders like Oluwaseun are showing that the real power of AI lies not in the technology itself, but in the problems it can solve. Her work reflects a growing shift towards practical, responsible innovation—using technology to improve business performance, empower people and create lasting impact across industries and communities.
