Richard Migambi uses structured data to improve the functioning of organisations. Through his solution, he proposes a new way of organising information to strengthen decision-making and the implementation of policies.

Migambi, a Rwandan entrepreneur in public-sector digital transformation, is the founder and chief executive of evolve, a Rwandan company that helps organisations use structured data to improve decisions and support innovation.

evolve, founded in 2014, presents itself as a digital-transformation agency and technology partner working with companies, public administrations and organisations engaged in digital reforms. The company develops locally designed technological solutions that respond to needs identified in the field by mobilising national expertise and an impact-driven approach.

The firm builds its value proposition around a “data strategy” offering aimed at organising and exploiting the potential of internal data. evolve supports clients as they define adapted data governance, structure information flows and deploy analytical dashboards that convert data into management tools.

The company operates across the entire data-management cycle, including collection, security, organisation and sharing. This structuring aims to make information reliable, accessible and usable for teams while reducing systemic fragmentation that often slows digital-project efficiency.

evolve also develops customised dashboards and analytical environments tailored to each organisation. By making key indicators visible and usable daily, the tools enable faster and more coherent decision-making aligned with operational priorities.

Before founding evolve, Migambi created 37 Software Solutions in 2008 in the United Kingdom, a software-development and consulting agency for small and medium-sized companies seeking to structure their e-business strategies. He also worked there as a software developer until 2014.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in database technologies in 2006 from the University of Portsmouth and a master’s degree in software engineering in 2010 from the University of Southampton.

Migambi began his career in 2002 in the data-processing department of Velindre NHS Trust Hospital in Cardiff, Wales. In 2003, he joined Churchill Insurance Company as a customer adviser. In 2011, he became a software developer at Hasbro Europe in London, the international toy and entertainment company.

From 2015 onward, he served as electronic procurement project manager at the Rwandan Ministry of Finance. Between 2021 and 2023, he worked as a consultant on the implementation of Burkina Faso’s electronic public-procurement system for the World Bank.
