About Ola
My path here has been an exciting one – from management consulting at Deloitte, to product management at IBM, and now tech sales at Google. But I know what it's like to feel unsure of your next steps. As a first-generation immigrant, originally from the Bronx, NY, I understand the drive to succeed and the challenges of navigating unfamiliar territory. Throughout my career, I've reinvented myself multiple times, and I'm passionate about helping others find their own path to fulfillment. Whether you're looking to break into tech, advance in your current role, or simply gain more clarity on your goals, I'm here to support you on your journey. My upbringing instilled in me the importance of hard work and perseverance, values that continue to guide me today. And these days, I'm also learning the ropes of fatherhood, which has been the most rewarding (and sometimes chaotic!) experience of my life. I am passionate about real estate and early start up investing. Outside of work and family, I'm passionate about real estate and early-stage startup investing.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe in the power of unlocking potential. Throughout my own journey, I've experienced the impact of having supportive mentors and coaches who believed in me, even when I doubted myself. They helped me navigate career transitions, develop new skills, and ultimately achieve goals that once seemed out of reach. Whether it's breaking into the tech industry, or simply finding more clarity and purpose in your work, I'm here to help you unlock your full potential and achieve your goals. I'm particularly passionate about helping those who may feel like they're on the outside looking in. I know what it's like to face unique challenges and strive for success in unfamiliar territory. I want to create a space where everyone feels empowered to pursue their dreams, regardless of their background or past experiences. My coaching approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a genuine desire to see you succeed. I'll bring my own experiences, both successes and failures, to the table, and I'll work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized plan that aligns with your values and aspirations. If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to be your guide. Let's work together to unlock your potential and achieve extraordinary things.
