Managing Partner.
Oswald Osaretin Guobadia is a recognized authority in policy advisory, digital evolution, and business strategy, with nearly three decades of experience shaping Africa’s Infrastructure, policy and business landscape.

Oswald’s career spans government, the private sector, and global advisory roles, placing him at the intersection of policy and execution and bringing a track record of executing large-scale policy and infrastructure projects across Africa.
Before founding DigitA, he served as Senior Special Advisor on Digital Transformation to the President of Nigeria, where he was instrumental in driving the Nigeria Startup Act (NSA)—one of the continent’s most consequential policy frameworks for technology-driven economic growth.
From conceptualization through parliamentary approval and final enactment, he played a central role in balancing regulatory objectives with private sector ambitions, positioning the Act as a model for other African nations. He also represented Nigeria on several presidential councils focused on Digital Economy and E-Government, helping to shape national and regional digital policies.
His career trajectory—from corporate technologist to policymaker and strategic advisor—reflects his ability to drive transformation at the highest levels. He began his career in network infrastructure at Credit Suisse First Boston and rose to Vice President of Core Enterprise Technology at Goldman Sachs, where he led complex global technology infrastructure projects. Upon returning to Nigeria, he played a pivotal role in stabilizing and expanding UBA Group’s IT infrastructure before co-founding 3finiti Technology Company Ltd, which later merged with DBH Africa, where he served as Executive Vice President and COO, spearheading market expansion across Africa.
A highly sought-after Digitalization and policy strategist, Oswald regularly engages with global leaders on the future of governance, digital economies, and regulatory frameworks. He has been invited to speak at the Wharton Africa Business Forum, the Global Africa Business Initiative (GABI), the Africa Early Stage Investor Summit (AESIS), and the African Startup Conference. His insights have been featured by BBC, TechCabal, and Business Day Nigeria, and he has co-authored In Pursuit: Journeys in African Entrepreneurship—a practical guide on navigating the African business and regulatory landscape.
Beyond his leadership at DigitA, Oswald plays a pivotal role in ecosystem development and serves on the boards of several organizations, driving impact across technology, business, and social development. He is a director at JeGO, a Non-Executive Director at Dela Technologies Limited, and serves on the Lagos Business School-Tech Leap Initiative (LBS-TLI) while also advising high-growth startups such as Chiplab and Poliz. His commitment to long-term policy impact extends to his work with the Resolve Foundation, Wellspring University Governing Council, and the Edo Development Organization (EDO), mobilizing resources for health, education, and social welfare programs. As the founder of the Edo Global Art Foundation, he supports Nigeria’s creative economy and cultural heritage.
