Akility is an independent Belgian consultancy serving Life Sciences and Healthcare organisations, including biotech, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology firms, and hospitals. It operates at executive level across three complementary areas.
Akility takes the role rather than advising on it, as CIO or IT Director, on an interim, fractional or long-term basis. Success is measured not by the duration of the mandate but by what remains after it : an IT function that runs, a team that holds together, and a successor who inherits something that works.
IT Governance and Responsible AI
Governance exists to enable action, not to create bureaucracy. Akility designs practical governance frameworks that boards, executives, security officers and quality leaders can all work from, covering cybersecurity, data, artificial intelligence, and regulatory obligations. The aim is to establish accountability, demonstrate compliance, and generate evidence as part of daily operations rather than as a last minute audit exercise.
Strategy and Digital Transformation
A roadmap is only valuable if it becomes reality. Akility sets the strategic direction and then leads the transformation required to deliver it. Success is measured by capabilities implemented, systems adopted, and business outcomes achieved, not by presentations produced.
Akility focuses on leadership, governance, and transformation. It does not position itself as a technical delivery provider, systems integrator, or software implementation company.
Akility was founded in 2016 by Jérôme Mandin, a passionate advocate of digital transformation, innovation and artificial intelligence in Life Sciences and Healthcare.
Holding a Master’s degree in Physics from Université Paris XI and a PhD in Physics from the Université de Caen, Jérôme conducted research in a national particle accelerator laboratory in the late 1990s.
A few years later, the industries changed, but the nature of the challenge did not. From medical devices and proton therapy to software supporting space missions, Jérôme progressed from project management into programme management. Since 2008, he has dedicated his career to Life Sciences and Healthcare, from Global IT within multinational pharmaceutical organisations to leading numerous digital transformation initiatives in small and medium-sized enterprises.
As an interim and fractional IT leader, Jérôme has built IT departments from the ground up, restructured IT organisations during corporate carve-outs, and led application implementation, infrastructure, cybersecurity, service delivery and operational transformation at scale.
Based in the Brussels region, Jérôme promotes digital autonomy and responsible AI. His focus is helping organisations balance innovation, governance, compliance, and business value in highly regulated and technology driven environments.
