Ambassador Dr. Adewale Osho

Ambassador Dr. Adewale Osho is a widely respected voice at the intersection of agribusiness, finance, and sustainable development. For nearly three decades, his work has moved with equal ease from fields in Senegal and The Gambia to strategy rooms with multilaterals and ministries, always with the same brief: make prosperity practical, and let standards travel. Today he serves as President & CEO of Terre Vivante Internationale, advancing food-systems transformation and rural empowerment across West Africa in alignment with the UN 2030 Agenda, while advising leaders on corporate finance and cross-border execution through Global Corporate Finance Consulting. The combination gives him an uncommon vantage point: he understands how capital behaves, how institutions decide, and how change is felt by the communities it promises to serve.

Earlier chapters shaped the range he is known for. He has collaborated within the United Nations Business Operations Strategy program on operational improvement and stakeholder alignment. He has maintained long-standing advisory ties across West Africa’s research and development ecosystem. And, as a Visiting Scholar in finance with the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education, he has contributed to advanced dialogue on corporate finance and leadership. Along the way he has trained thousands of practitioners on high-performance delivery, microfinance, and policy design, helping governments, NGOs, and private actors connect agriculture to capital in ways that hold up under pressure.

What distinguishes Dr. Osho is the blend of steadiness and ambition. He is fluent in the grammar of numbers and the cadence of fieldwork; his counsel reads well in a board pack and still makes sense on a dusty roadside. Colleagues point to a calm, purposeful style: clear mandates, clean handoffs, and decisions made as close to the ground as possible. He builds systems that make excellence repeatable without making it feel mechanical, protects reputation while pursuing growth, and favors measures that people can actually experience, resilience in a cooperative, reliability in a supply chain, dignity in the work.
