Audrey Oh is a Digital & AI professional with over a decade of experience supporting governments across the world, laying the building blocks to develop competitive digital economies. She works with countries through the preparation of the World Bank Digital Foundations Lending Operations, high-level Policy dialogue and negotiations, and the implementation of ICT Sector Reforms—spanning digital market liberalisation, nurturing digital entrepreneurship and jobs, and the rollout of Digital Public Infrastructure and Data Governance.
She provides frontline advisory to Governments on National Digital Strategies, establishing Independent Sector Regulators, and developing the Data Protection Baseline for low- and middle-income countries. With strong operational experience and a network in Africa, she helps design and deliver regional and country-level digital solutions, reinforced by regulatory sector reforms that enhance institutional capacity to review, develop, and effectively manage emerging regulations while fostering an enabling environment for the digital ecosystem.
Her publications include the World Bank’s 5G flagship report that illustrates the policy and regulatory enabling environments for 5G deployment in developing countries, and the Spectrum Management Review for Policymakers. She also led the design and implementation of Green, Resilient, and Secure Data Centre and Cloud Migration projects. Notably, her work as digital sector co-lead on the Conflict Impact Assessment and Recovery Reconstruction Planning Report for a fragile and conflict-affected country won the VPU Award. Having travelled to over 85 countries and lived across five continents, her global trajectory shapes her fundamental belief that every system and individual holds intrinsic value—and her ultimate goal is to make that value shine.
Audrey holds a Master’s in International Development from Sciences Po, Paris, following undergraduate education in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) from Oxford and HUFS.
