Joshua Oguntade (photo) is a Nigerian impact entrepreneur and the founder-CEO of software development firm Clio.
Formerly known as Onboardly, Clio was founded in 2021. It provides fast-growing companies with best-in-class tools to manage employees and build great company cultures. It aims to help companies put their employees first by providing a platform that helps them take care of the tasks necessary for an efficient work experience.
It was launched after Joshua Oguntade and his teams noticed companies were still using fragmented processes and tools in their operations, wasting time and money.
The tech entrepreneur thus developed a modern human resources management infrastructure that manages recruitment, payroll, benefits, integration, HR, and IT tasks. Several notable companies, including Bumpa, Float, and Mono, use Clio's solution and appreciate its efficiency.
In 2018, Joshua had already co-founded Pennysmart, a convenient and automated online/offline savings and wealth management service for Africans. He entered the professional world in 2015, joining the SMS delivery platform as a software engineer.
From 2016 to 2018, he completed an entrepreneurship program developed by MEST Africa, and in 2020, he worked as a product and compliance manager for Flutterwave, a fintech company that builds payment infrastructures to connect Africa to the global economy.
