I’m Oluwatobi Boshoro
but most people call me Tobi.
I’m a fintech strategist, board director, and digital transformation leader with over 20 years of executive experience driving innovation, inclusion, and impact across Africa, North America, Asia, and the Caribbean.
From pioneering Africa’s first indigenous payment card to transforming a five-year loss-making bank into a $65M revenue-generating digital lender, my career has been rooted in turnaround leadership, agile execution, and human-centered innovation.
I’ve led organizations through complex transformations, overseen budgets over $500 million, and built scalable fintech ecosystems across multiple emerging markets. But beyond the boardrooms and bottom lines, what drives me is transformation — of people, systems, and possibilities.
My Mission
I believe technology is a tool for purpose, not just for profit. My mission is to:
- Create vision & strategy for your leadership
- Cultivate visionary yet grounded leadership in both public and private sectors
- Drive agile, inclusive innovation with measurable impact
- Empower women and youth through access, education, and capital
- Rethink and rebuild financial ecosystems for greater reach and equity
Whether working with government stakeholders, multilateral institutions, or underserved communities, I bring the same focus: “Clarity of vision. Depth of execution. Commitment to lasting change.”

What I Value
Integrity. Innovation. Inclusion. Impact.
These aren't just buzzwords — they define how I lead, serve, and build. Whether mentoring a young woman through Project 12:21:100, advising a fintech startup, or guiding a boardroom conversation on risk and governance, I aim to embody:
Visionary but practical leadership.
Respect for people, culture, and process.
The courage to challenge, the grace to listen.
A commitment to leave every space better than I found i.
