Helped my secure GS TMT + Great guy!!!

I can’t say enough great things about Oba. From the very beginning, Oba has gone above and beyond to support everyone around him. Whether it’s offering thoughtful advice on career moves, helping with resume edits, or just being there to listen, Oba's always willing to help. He played a huge role in my own journey, guiding me through tough decisions, sharing resources, and even running through mock interviews with me before big opportunities. Oba genuinely cares about seeing others succeed, and I’m incredibly grateful to have him in my corner. Anyone would be lucky to have Oba as a mentor!

Ben’s an efficient, straightforward, and insightful coach. He was readily available and immensely helpful in navigating what can be an overwhelming and meticulous process. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the process. If you want a coach who genuinely cares about you as a person and your success, but who gives you honest and clear advice, I would highly recommend Ben!

Mickey is a great mentor. He is kinda, creative, and a hard worker. I have really enjoyed working with him!

Oba is fully dedicated to helping as many people as possible succeed! From creating Headstart an amazing organization that has changed so many peoples lives to being a mentor when navigating career decisions. Oba is someone who will continue to help as many people as possible.

Helped me get into Stanford GSB!

I was a fellow in the inaugural HeadStart Fellowship class. Meeting Oba legitimately changed my life. Coming from an immigrant household where I had no family in corporate America let alone finance, Oba was the perfect mentor to help me not only see the kinds of roles I could aspire to, but also lay out the roadmap to get there. I can confidently say Oba was a key part of me landing all 3 of my summer internships. I was also privy to his GSB application process; can confidently say it was surgical and the methodologies can be replicated well by any clients.

Oba is incredibly committed to mentorship and helping those around him grow. He has a real passion for figuring out the best strategies to facilitate this commitment, and has a proven track record.

Working with DeVol was an incredible experience. He has a real gift for listening and asking just the right questions that make you think and come up with your own solutions. That’s what stood out the most to me, he doesn’t just give you answers, he helps you grow by guiding you to find them yourself. As an international student, he also helped me better understand the culture, reflect on where I was, and get clear on where I wanted to go. He really helped me define my goals.

Alexander has been tremendous helping me as a coach as I looked into major new career next steps. He is a great listening, resourceful, shares his resources and deep knowledge so freely. I am so glad to have met and worked with him. Top recommendation!
