Engineering, technology, law and strategy in one room.

Temidayo's work is centred on developing technology-driven solutions that solve complex commercial problems while creating sustainable economic value. By combining legal expertise with engineering, technology and business strategy, he has founded and led innovative ventures across multiple industries.

He began his legal career at one of Nigeria's leading commercial law firms, advising on corporate, commercial and property transactions before transitioning into entrepreneurship. Since then he has built and led businesses that leverage technology to improve financial services, professional practice and sustainable infrastructure.

He is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of DailyPay, a financial technology company transforming how employees access and manage their earnings, promoting financial inclusion through seamless access to earned wages and digital financial services. He is also the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of OrditAI, an artificial intelligence company building an AI-powered workbench for auditors and accounting professionals — automating audit workflows, streamlining documentation, analysing financial statements and supporting risk assessment at scale.

Driven by his passion for clean energy and sustainable infrastructure, Temidayo leads the development and deployment of EV charging infrastructure across Nigeria. He has designed, built and deployed three commercial charging stations in Lagos, leading multidisciplinary teams across site identification, engineering design, electrical planning, construction, commissioning and operational management.

Beyond the physical infrastructure, he led the design and development of the software platform that powers the stations — real-time charger management, remote monitoring, session management, operational analytics and performance insights that let operators track energy consumption, analyse utilisation and maximise uptime.

Prior to founding his current ventures, Temidayo served as Chief Executive Officer of Swipe, where he led the company's growth within Nigeria's fintech ecosystem. His long-term vision is to accelerate Africa's transition to sustainable transportation and build world-class technology and infrastructure companies that contribute meaningfully to the continent's growth.

Dr. Etim-Bassey has built a distinguished career driving strategic growth, market expansion, investment facilitation, strategic partnerships and organizational transformation. He has advised governments, multinational corporations, development finance institutions and international organizations, helping them identify commercial opportunities, navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver sustainable business outcomes.

As Executive Director (Business Development) at Neostrategy Consulting Ltd., he leads strategic growth initiatives, executive stakeholder engagement and cross-sector partnerships spanning infrastructure, energy, governance and institutional development. Earlier executive appointments within government strengthened his expertise in corporate governance, enterprise transformation, resource mobilization and executive decision-making. International assignments with Canada's Lester B. Pearson International Peacekeeping Centre and Oxfam Canada shaped his global perspective on leadership, policy and international collaboration.

He serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in International Relations and Strategic Studies at the University of Calabar, combining executive leadership with scholarship and thought leadership. He is a Doctoral Candidate in International Relations and Strategic Studies at the University of Calabar and holds an M.A. in Geopolitics from the University of Reading, an M.A. in Jurisprudence & International Law from the University of Lagos, and a B.A. in History from the University of Ibadan.

While widely recognised for expertise in security and governance, these disciplines serve as strategic differentiators within a broader executive portfolio centred on business development, corporate strategy, investment facilitation and transformational leadership. Beyond his professional pursuits he is an amateur military historian with a keen interest in venture capitalism and emerging business opportunities, and enjoys golf, cooking and the discipline of Shotokan Karate.
