Deji’s Investment Banking Qualifications
Experience level: Partner or Managing Director
My experience spans private equity, principal investing, transaction evaluation, financial modeling, valuation, due diligence, and capital allocation across global investment platforms. I have worked at the Africa Finance Corporation, a $15B investment institution, the George Kaiser Family Foundation, a $5B platform, and now lead Zeus Global, where I evaluate and pursue acquisitions of software and technology-enabled businesses. I also hold an MBA from Stanford GSB and a B.Eng. with summa cum laude honors. While my career has been on the investing and operating side rather than in a traditional investment-banking role, I have worked closely with the same core skills required in banking: analyzing businesses, building and reviewing financial models, assessing transactions, preparing investment materials, conducting diligence, and communicating recommendations to senior decision-makers. I coach candidates on investment-banking recruiting strategy, resume and narrative positioning, technical interview preparation, valuation, modeling, transaction analysis, and communicating clearly under pressure.
