After dabbling from 2010 and seeing an opportunity in the space, I quit my job as the head of marketing in OLX in 2013 to pursue a career in acting. My engineering mind plus my experience in sales and marketing allowed me to strategize and do things differently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m very methodical in the way that I approach everything from reading scripts and breaking down characters and stories, to figuring out solutions to my business challenges, to discovering new services I can render to producers and brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deyemi Okanlawon, one of Nigeria&#8217;s finest and talented actors, has opened up about how he left a corporate job to make a living out of acting.
