Olu Adeniji is the Strategic Lead for AI & Automation at Brent Council (Digital Programme Manager), leading the development of Brent’s Corporate AI Strategy. With over two decades of experience, he specialises in designing governable, scalable solutions for highly regulated, resident centric public sector environments.

As the architect of Brent’s sovereign AI & Automation Centre of Excellence (CoE), Olu has established the operating model, governance frameworks, and delivery standards that enable secure, cyber aware and audit ready adoption of AI, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), AI powered automation, Conversational AI virtual assistants, and emerging agentic AI capabilities, leveraging enterprise grade vendor models.
