I’m Oluwatobi Boshoro
but most people call me Tobi.
As a CEO, Board Director, Transformation Expert, Fintech Strategist, and Digital Transformation Leader, I help organizations reimagine what’s possible aligning innovation with inclusion, turning complexity into clarity, and ideas into scalable impact. With over two decades of executive leadership across Africa, North America, Asia, and the Caribbean, my work is at the intersection of financial technology, agile strategy, and human-centered innovation..
From launching Africa’s first indigenous payment card to turning around a five-year loss-making bank into a $65M digital success story , I’ve led high-stakes transformations that blend bold vision with disciplined execution. I’ve managed portfolios exceeding $500 million , built fintech ecosystems across emerging markets, and guided institutions through mission-critical pivots that shaped their futures.
What I’ve learned along the way:
Transformation isn’t just about tech or tools—it’s about people, trust, and the systems we build around them. The most impactful organizations are those that lead with empathy, act with speed, and innovate with purpose.Today, I advise boards, partner with CEOs, and guide executive teams navigating digital disruption, financial inclusion, and growth in emerging markets. Whether designing inclusive fintech platforms, executing turnaround strategies, or scaling innovation at the enterprise level, I bring a strategic lens rooted in results and relevance.
Signature Work:
Leading end-to-end fintech innovation and enterprise transformation across diverse markets, with a proven track record in digital lending, payments, and ecosystem design.
Beyond the boardroom, I champion inclusive finance, sustainable innovation, and leadership that moves communities forward. I believe Africa’s fintech future will be shaped by those who dare to lead with both heart and rigor.
Because at the core of every transformation is a simple principle: When we design for people, we build for lasting impact.
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.”
