ABOUT AUSTIN COLORITE
I’m Austin, founder of Ornis. My background combines Big Four consulting at Deloitte, management consulting at Guidehouse, and a Princeton education in Public and International Affairs.
I work across business strategy, operations, and AI—from aligning executives on a direction to helping teams adopt new ways of working.
At Deloitte, I led pilot-success, strategy, and programme-management functions for a Microsoft Copilot rollout within a 50,000+ person organisation. The programme scaled from an initial pilot to nearly 6,000 active participants.
At Guidehouse, I led a process redesign for a 200+ employee organisation that reduced approval time from more than 25 days to 7 and cut manual errors by 40%. I also implemented knowledge-management and onboarding improvements that reduced ramp-up time by 20%.
Earlier, at BroadFutures, I stepped into operational leadership following a director’s departure, redesigned admissions and cohort scheduling, and implemented a CRM covering 3,000 contacts that reduced manual effort by 50%.
I hold a B.A. in Public and International Affairs from Princeton University and was a Princeton Project 55 Fellow. My studies included Ethics of Emerging Technologies, Technology & Society, and quantitative social science. As a research assistant at Princeton’s Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination, I analysed complex policy evidence and contributed to research on institutional accountability.
I have also evaluated more than 1,100 AI-generated outputs per month, combining structured quality assessment with policy and economics expertise. That mix of research, enterprise delivery, and hands-on operations shapes my work at Ornis: clear business decisions, practical implementation, and AI that earns its place.
