About Olutosin
I've been on both ends of coaching/mentorship from a number of communities near and dear to my heart; including Devcolor, MLT, and Black Product Managers. Prior to my MBA I worked as a software engineer, a product manager, and an engineering manager- more recently, I graduated from Harvard's MS/MBA program. I love writing and helping people get their stories onto the page. My undergrad college admissions essay is featured in a book titled "50 Successful Stanford Essays". I enjoy borrowing books (sometimes reading them), watching reality dating shows & the Boondocks, and exploring Brooklyn.
Why do I coach?
Coaching matters to me because I've been a huge beneficiary of mentorship and coaching the past. Whether it was transitioning from chemical engineering to a software role or figuring out what I needed to do to apply to my MBA. I'm excited to share the best practices I've learned from being on the receiving end of mentorship for most of my professional career. It's also just fun to share what you know to help others get to where they're trying to go- so I'm looking forward to connecting!
