Osmaan Dawood is the Technology Director at the San Francisco Community Land Trust (SFCLT), where he leads the organization’s AI and technology strategy—building innovative tools that expand access to affordable housing and increase operational capacity across the sector.

Osmaan’s passion for systems design and problem-solving began with his studies in finance and management at Western University’s Ivey Business School, where he earned an Honors in Business Administration (HBA in Finance)—Canada’s top-ranked undergraduate business program and the equivalent of an accelerated MBA.

He began his career as a management consultant at Bain & Company, advising venture-backed firms and Fortune 500 clients on strategy, financial modeling, and operational efficiency. Drawing on that experience, he now applies technology to scale impact in the affordable housing field—combining data, automation, and AI to make community ownership models more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.

Osmaan envisions a future where technology democratizes access to housing, empowering communities to own, manage, and preserve their homes with the same sophistication as large-scale developers.
