Deji’s Private Equity Qualifications

Experience level: Partner or Managing Director

10+ people coached for Private Equity

I help ambitious professionals break into private equity — with a focus on growth equity and buyout roles — by combining hands-on deal experience with personalized, high-impact coaching. Whether you're coming from investment banking, consulting, or a nontraditional background, I’ll work with you to sharpen your story, master technicals, and confidently navigate both on-cycle and off-cycle recruiting processes. My own path into private equity was nontraditional. I’m the Founder of Zeus Global, an independent PE platform where I’ve led full deal processes — from sourcing and underwriting to diligence and capital formation — across live acquisitions in SaaS and tech-enabled services. Before launching Zeus, I led growth and middle-market investing at a $5B family office, and held investment roles at LeapFrog Investments and the Africa Finance Corporation. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB. I’ve coached candidates across every stage, from pre-MBA associates and undergrads targeting analyst programs to post-MBA professionals navigating VP-track interviews. I specialize in helping “non-obvious” profiles break in by reframing their experience into an investor-ready narrative and building the technical and commercial acumen that top-tier PE firms demand.
