MEET THE FOUNDER
Engineer. Business Strategist. AI Builder. The rare advisor who understands both the technology and the bottom line — because he's built both.
THE STORY
Most consultants have to choose: learn the technology or learn the business. Manuel Oancia chose both.
With an engineering foundation and Cisco networking credentials, Manuel built his career at the intersection of technology and business strategy. He advised Fortune 500 companies and government administrations on digital transformation. He became a certified business consultant through the Hubbart College Institute.
He founded two Washington, DC-based institutes — USIBID for executive business education and USIDHR for international diplomacy and governance training — building them into recognized programs with global reach.
"I kept seeing the same problem: companies investing in AI with no strategic roadmap. Technologists selling solutions that didn't match the business need. Leadership teams making million-dollar decisions based on vendor demos instead of data. I started Oancia Strategy Group to fix that."
Then he went further: he built and deployed AI-powered SaaS platforms himself. Not as a theoretical exercise — as real products serving real clients. ESGOVA for ESG/CSRD compliance. NexLvYou for AI-driven personal development. He didn't just advise on AI. He built it.
That's why when Manuel sits in your boardroom and says "this AI investment will deliver a 3x return within 12 months," he's not reading from a playbook. He's speaking from experience — as an engineer, a builder, and a business strategist who has done it himself.
