Obiora Tabansi Onyeaso has spent over two decades at the intersection where corporate governance, market reputation and capital allocation meet in Africa — the point at which decisions are made on who should be trusted, in which domains, and at what price.
As Founder and Managing Director of Lagos-based Podhium, he builds the evaluation infrastructure that decision-makers rely on in structurally opaque markets: environments where disclosure is thin, signals are performed as often as they are earned, and high-stakes judgements about people, institutions and capital must be made on fragments.
His work ranges across ratings architecture and reputation intelligence — always in service of the same conviction: that in markets where information is scarce, verified reputation is the scarcest capital of all.
Obi earned a degree in Combined Social Sciences (Political Science and Philosophy) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
