In the worlds of construction and finance—two industries not known for their accessibility or diversity—Dr. Olayinka Adegbayi stands tall as a multidimensional leader redefining what it means to build. Whether she’s overseeing multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects or coaching families toward financial freedom, Dr. Adegbayi approaches her work with a clear mission: empower others to succeed and leave no family behind.
Born in Nigeria and now based in the United States, Dr. Adegbayi’s journey is rooted in service, education, and unwavering faith. As the President of New Earth Contracting LLC and Chosen Leadership Development Corporation, she has led diverse teams through successful projects for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and other high-impact initiatives across New Jersey. But for her, every blueprint tells a bigger story. “Building physical structures is important,” she shares. “But building people? That’s purpose.”
Her commitment to developing others is evident not only in business but in her writing. As an author and thought leader, Dr. Adegbayi is using her platform to dismantle what she calls the “financial miseducation of the middle class.” Through her writing and weekly coaching sessions, she translates complex financial concepts into clear, accessible strategies—empowering readers to take control of their finances, reduce debt, plan for retirement, and build generational wealth.
“My journey into authorship was inspired by the need I saw in my own community,” she explains. “Too many families are working hard but remain financially stuck. I wanted to be a voice that made wealth-building feel possible, not intimidating.”
A licensed Senior Marketing Director with World Financial Group, Dr. Adegbayi travels across the country delivering workshops and one-on-one mentorship to aspiring financial professionals. Her message is simple but powerful: financial literacy is not a luxury—it’s a right.
Yet the path to leadership and authorship has not been without obstacles. “As a woman of color in male-dominated industries, I’ve had to prove myself again and again,” she shares. “But I let my results speak louder than resistance.” This quiet tenacity, coupled with a servant’s heart, has earned her the respect of peers and the gratitude of those she’s helped along the way.
A devout member of Winners Chapel International New Jersey, Dr. Adegbayi has also poured her expertise into faith-based spaces. She has served on multiple church boards and committees, leading financial audits, managing budgets, organizing outreach for the less privileged, and mentoring emerging leaders. Her belief in servant leadership guides everything she does: “You lead best when you’re willing to serve first.”
Balancing her professional responsibilities with motherhood and ministry takes discipline. “I schedule everything around my values,” she says. As a mother of four, she’s committed to modeling excellence and integrity—not just for her children, but for every young woman watching her journey.
Looking ahead, Dr. Adegbayi envisions expanding her literary work, launching a series of books that bridge the gap between faith and financial empowerment. She also aims to develop educational programs rooted in business research and strategic leadership—topics that reflect her passion for continuous growth and sustainable impact.
To aspiring authors and leaders, her message is clear: “Don’t wait to be perfect to start. Start with your story. Someone needs to hear it—and grow because of it.”
And to readers of Today’s Author Magazine, Dr. Adegbayi offers this call to action: “Build what matters. Whether it’s a business, a book, or a legacy—let your work be a bridge that others can cross into their purpose.”
