About
Francis Donohue
Founder, Oakmere.ai
I’ve spent much of my career working at the point where technology, business change and customer outcomes meet.
My experience spans senior enterprise leadership, a global technology platform company, Customer Success and account growth, and advisory work with organisations exploring AI, automation and transformation.
That mix matters. I’ve been the enterprise operator making investment and delivery decisions, the technology partner helping customers adopt and expand, and the advisor helping leadership teams work out where to focus.
Oakmere brings those perspectives together in a practical way: start with the business problem, be clear about the value, and use technology where it genuinely improves the outcome.

Approach
Start with the business problem. Be clear about value. Use technology where it genuinely helps.
AI is moving quickly, but that does not mean every organisation should move quickly in every direction. The harder question is where to focus.
Oakmere helps clients create enough structure to make better decisions without turning transformation into a bureaucratic exercise. That means understanding the problem, defining the outcome, testing the value, assessing feasibility and then deciding whether to act.
Business-led, not tool-led
Value before activity
Direct senior engagement
Practical, not theoretical
Ways to work together
Flexible support, shaped around the problem.
Engagements can be short and focused or extend over a longer period where ongoing leadership, commercial support or transformation guidance is useful.
