Deron, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Consistency and hardwork. Born and raised in Charlotte and graduated from Nccu and got involved with an internship with a magazine company and the rest is history.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’ve worked for some of the top companies in the world. I worked for 4 Fortune 100 companies before the age of 30 which led me to work for Visa…
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Yes, try to gain as much insight from people who are in a position or level that you want to reach and always be open to learning.
