I've guided 300+ students from underrepresented backgrounds into competitive careers at top companies, combining personal experience overcoming barriers with proven systems that deliver results. I've personally mentored students who landed roles at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America, often helping them go from having no industry connections to securing life-changing opportunities. My own journey from a first-generation Nigerian-American immigrant to working at firms like General Atlantic, Goldman Sachs, and Lead Edge Capital gives me deep insight into what it really takes to break into competitive industries. I specialize in helping people who feel like outsiders figure out how to get insider access to the careers they want, using practical strategies based on real data from hundreds of successful career transitions.

If you’re at a crossroads, you don’t need more generic advice. You need clarity on what you actually want, language that captures what you’re great at, and a strategy you can follow without second-guessing yourself. In our work, you’ll get focused support to identify the right next roles, translate your strengths into a compelling story, and take confident action—resume, LinkedIn, networking, interviews, and decision decisions included. My approach is shaped by 25 years at Pfizer leading career growth and early talent—designing the programs, frameworks, and pathways that help people move. I built enterprise-wide career growth initiatives, supported mobility across functions, and helped early-career talent launch strong starts. I understand what hiring leaders look for, how internal and external moves really happen, and why capable people get stuck even when they’re doing everything “right.” You’ll leave with a clear direction, sharper positioning, and a step-by-step plan you’ll actually use. Expect practical tools, honest reflection, and momentum you can feel—because your next chapter deserves more than guessing.

Experienced CFO, investor, and entrepreneurial leader with a track record of success as a venture investor, business builder, fund-raiser and finance executive. While I continue to invest in venture capital, I developed my coaching practice in 2020 and since then have helped dozens of executives and entrepreneurs upskill, raise capital, find new opportunities, and excel in the new positions. I have done this work across industries, but most of my clients are entrepreneurs in tech/biotech, investment professionals in private equity/venture capital, or in real estate. I started my career as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney (now Citi) before getting my MBA at Harvard Business School. I spent several years in private equity and venture capital at Warburg Pincus before moving into public equity investing at hedge funds, including my own for several years. Most recently I pivoted back to venture capital with a new firm, 3Spoke Capital, and spent two years as the CFO of a new AI/medtech venture, PreciseDx, for which I raised over $20MM in a Series B. All the while I was active in the recruitment, training, and management of high performance teams. I know how to build great teams, help you find a role within them, and crush the new job once you secure it.

My career has been intentionally non-linear. I’ve worked across banking, venture capital, startup CFO roles, and now manage a $400M+ hedge fund. I’ve made multiple pivots — some planned, some uncertain at the time — and understand how to reposition experience, communicate transferable skills, and move into roles that don’t look obvious on paper. If you’re thinking about breaking into finance, moving from operator to investor, pivoting industries, or leveling up into leadership roles, I focus on strategy first. We’ll clarify where you want to go, what narrative supports that move, and how to execute with credibility.
