Mr Iyiola Ojo serves as Coates Global’s Regional Director for Africa, where he leads the firm’s operations and strategic development across key markets in West, East, and Southern Africa. With over 20 years of senior leadership experience across the telecommunications, oil and gas, real estate, and immigration sectors, Mr Ojo brings a multidisciplinary perspective to investor migration services.
Helping clients in Africa access global mobility is about more than visas — it’s about opening doors to freedom, security, and opportunity.
He holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), which form the foundation of his analytical and operational expertise in complex regional markets. His work is marked by a strategic and client-focused approach, enabling high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs across Africa to successfully navigate the requirements of leading Golden Visa and Second Citizenship programmes.
Mr Ojo’s role includes developing partnerships with financial institutions, wealth advisors, and family offices, and guiding clients through investment planning, documentation, and post-approval follow-up. His deep understanding of regional dynamics and regulatory expectations ensures that clients receive culturally competent, locally tailored, and globally compliant support.
Mr Ojo is an integral part of our executive advisory network, representing the firm’s values and standards across the African continent.

Every time a client receives their residency or citizenship approval, we’re reminded why this work matters. It's not just paperwork — it’s about transforming lives and creating new legacies.
We don’t push clients towards just any programme — we listen, we assess, and we recommend only what we’d choose ourselves. That’s what makes Coates Global different.
I’ve seen families reunited, children enrolling in world-class schools, and entrepreneurs unlocking international markets. That’s the power of what we do.
Even in the most complex of cases, there’s always a path forward — it just takes clarity, strategy, and the right team. That’s what we bring to every client.
Helping high-net-worth clients gain citizenship is more than a transaction. It’s about long-term security, mobility, and legacy planning — and we ensure it's done with precision.
Being part of this team means being part of something bigger — we open borders, but more importantly, we open futures.
When a client tells me, ‘You’ve changed my family’s life,’ I know our commitment goes far beyond legal expertise — it’s about people.
With every investor we support, we’re contributing to a stronger, more interconnected world. It’s an honour to play that role.
The World is rising, and our clients are part of that story. We ensure they have access to the global opportunities they deserve.
As an American lawyer working globally, I’ve seen how Coates Global turns complex ambitions into concrete achievements.
