Deji’s Career Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

20+ people coached for Career Coaching

I coach professionals who are navigating career transitions — whether switching industries, repositioning into finance or investing, or simply seeking clarity around their next move. I specialize in helping candidates with non-traditional backgrounds land high-leverage roles by reframing their narrative, showcasing transferable strengths, and building a strategy that reflects their long-term goals. I began my own career as an engineer — working in operations, product, and strategy roles at Schlumberger, GE, and ExxonMobil — before pivoting into investing through roles at the Africa Finance Corporation, Leapfrog Investments and a $5B family office. I later founded Zeus Global, where I lead acquisitions in software and tech-enabled services. Along the way, I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB. Having navigated multiple pivots — from engineering to investing to entrepreneurship — I bring empathy, structure, and tactical insight to help others craft bold, intentional, and successful careers.
