About Deepak

Ex‑founder at Oddbox and former Fortune 500 executive (Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, 3M). 

I’ve made five career pivots across four countries.

Corporate finance → Technology → Investment banking → Personal training → Startup founder. 

Inside global corporates I led as a project manager and learned how systems, politics and structure really work. 

I left corporate because it no longer aligned with my values.

I qualified to become a Personal trainer as I wanted to work with people and help them reach their potential.  

I started Oddbox because I wanted to have a positive impact on the world by tackling food waste. 

At Oddbox we built a BCORP which at it's peak - £30m ARR, 50,000 customers and 100 teammates, and raised £25m (Series B). 

After burning out as the business evolved faster than I did, I am now back to helping people reach their potential, through coaching.

I’ve lived the external pressure and the inner questions. 

The thread through my pivots is simple: I’ve chased contentment through alignment (with my values). 

Now I help you do the same - with clarity and decisive action.

What I offer

Ever spoken to a coach great in theory but light on real-world pressure?
 

Have you ever spoken to a founder or leader who jumps straight into advice mode - filtered through their own narrow experience?

I bridge that gap.

I bring the lived experience of scaling a £30m business and navigating large Fortune 500 companies, combined with the depth of certified coaching practice so you get awareness, reflection and action, not just theory or advice. 

What you’ll get

Clear goals, better decisions, real progress in 90 days.

  • Your North Star – values and non-negotiables, named and visible
     
  • Definition of success – for you and for your role, right now
     
  • A simple, focused plan – clear steps you can follow and sustain
     

Clarity, confidence and tangible progress - not in theory, but in practice.

    "A great investment" 

    Coaching with Deepak helped me reconnect with tools I already had and actually use them.

    Some of the biggest challenges I was facing weren’t personal . They were part of the founder journey

    That shift in perspective helped me feel more grounded.

    Even a 10% boost in clarity or decision-making can have a massive impact over time.This was a great investment.

    "Exceptional" 

    Deepak’s depth of knowledge, clarity of thought, and calm, grounded approach makes him an exceptional coach/mentor.

    He brings a rare blend of strategic insight and real-world experience, and I came away from our session with a clearer vision and practical actions I could implement immediately.

    His ability to distil complex challenges into focused, achievable steps is a true gift, every founder should be lucky enough to learn from him.

    "Clarity Over Noise"

    Deepak is an approachable and insightful coach mentor who has helped me cut through life’s noise to focus on what truly matters. 

    The sessions have helped me realign my priorities and identify effective ways to approach my goals.

     "Confident in my decisions again" 

    Before meeting Deepak, things felt "good-ish" - as a strategy consultant/entrepreneur, there are many things I can do, but I felt pulled in several directions.

    And, I really wanted to be more specific about my future and focus, so naturally, that created friction.

    In just a few sessions, Deepak has helped me grow confidence in my decisions, dynamically create structure for my day, and we've found ways to redefine what future, productivity, and success mean to me!

    Deepak is an incredible listener and asks questions that make me pause.
