In 2007, Oswald qualified as a Chartered Accountant.

In mid-2013, he moved on to Aspers Group as Head of Business Intelligence. Oswald was responsible for designing and implementing a suite of analytics, internal reporting and forecasting tools and reports.

Oswald then joined Caesars Entertainment EMEA in 2014 as CFO. He was responsible for overseeing 2,000 employees across 14 operations in three countries. In 2019, he was appointed as Managing Director and ended up navigating the business through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Finally, in 2021, Oswald became the Managing Director at Metropolitan Gaming. Here, he is responsible for operations in the UK, South Africa and Egypt.
