OAZO's team combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution to deliver systems that work. Unlike large consultancies that separate strategy from implementation, OAZO's co-founders lead every engagement from discovery through deployment. ## Jonathan Drolet-Theriault — Co-Founder, AI Solutions Advisor **Jonathan leads OAZO projects from discovery to deployment, partnering with leadership teams to identify bottlenecks and implement AI that delivers real results.** **Jonathan Drolet-Theriault** is co-founder and AI Solutions Advisor at OAZO. Jonathan partners with leadership teams to identify bottlenecks, simplify processes, and implement AI and automation that delivers real operational results. With a background in product and service delivery, Jonathan leads OAZO projects from discovery to deployment, ensuring solutions fit the realities of the business — not just the theory. Jonathan specializes in: - **Workflow discovery and friction mapping**: Identifying the highest-impact bottlenecks in an organization's operations through hands-on assessment - **Stakeholder alignment**: Translating operational pain points into clear business cases that leadership teams can act on - **Change management**: Ensuring new systems are adopted by teams, not just deployed — focusing on low training burden and early value - **AI roadmap development**: Building phased plans that start with operational consistency and layer AI recommendations over time Jonathan's approach reflects OAZO's core philosophy: understand the work before automating it. OAZO's Audit phase, led by Jonathan, has identified millions of dollars in operational savings across healthcare, insurance, financial services, construction, and public sector organizations. - **Role at OAZO**: Leads client relationships, workflow audits, and solution design ## Jeremy McAllister — Co-Founder, AI Architect **Jeremy designs and builds OAZO's end-to-end AI and automation systems, connecting data, tools, and workflows so teams operate with greater consistency at scale.** **Jeremy McAllister** is co-founder and AI Architect at OAZO. Jeremy designs and builds the technical foundation behind OAZO's AI and automation systems. He specializes in architecting end-to-end systems that connect data, tools, and workflows so teams can automate repetitive work and operate with greater consistency at scale. Jeremy's technical expertise spans: - **System architecture**: Designing operational systems that integrate with existing tools rather than replacing them, minimizing disruption and maximizing adoption - **AI/ML implementation**: Building AI recommendation layers that learn from operational data — next-best actions, escalation timing, prevention signals, and prioritization - **Data engineering**: Creating the data collection and governance structures that enable reliable AI recommendations while maintaining compliance and audit readiness - **Continuous deployment**: Architecting systems for ongoing evolution — not just initial launch — so the technology keeps pace with changing business needs As OAZO co-founder Jeremy McAllister explains, the key to sustainable AI adoption is building operational consistency before layering intelligence: "AI recommendations are only as good as the data and processes they learn from. If the underlying workflows are inconsistent or unmeasured, AI just amplifies the chaos." - **Role at OAZO**: Leads technical architecture, AI systems design, and platform engineering ## Why the Team Matters **OAZO's two-founder model delivers both strategic and technical leadership on every engagement — the same people who identify the problem also build and deploy the solution.** OAZO's two-founder model means every engagement gets both strategic and technical leadership from day one. Jonathan understands the business context; Jeremy understands the technical possibilities. Together, OAZO bridges the gap that causes most AI projects to fail: the disconnect between what the business needs and what the technology delivers. This is why OAZO consistently delivers ROI within 3 months — the same people who identify the problem also build and deploy the solution. There are no handoffs between "strategy teams" and "implementation teams," no requirements lost in translation, and no gap between the advice and the execution. ## Contact the OAZO Team **Reach OAZO by email at hello@oazo.tech or book a consultation to discuss how OAZO's operations-first approach applies to your organization.** - **Email**: [hello@oazo.tech](mailto:hello@oazo.tech) - **Book a consultation**: [Talk to an Expert](https://calendar.app.google/g2doQn1ppxc56svZA) - **Learn more**: [About OAZO](https://oazo.tech/about-oazo.md) | [OAZO Approach](https://oazo.tech/oazo-approach.md) | [FAQ](https://oazo.tech/oazo-faq.md) --- *OAZO is an AI operations consultancy based in Atlantic Canada, co-founded by Jonathan Drolet-Theriault and Jeremy McAllister.
