“The global cybersecurity market size was estimated at $202.72 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3 per cent from 2023 to 2030,” he said.

To achieve his goal of empowering others and reducing unemployment among youths, he founded in 2022, ExcelMind Cyber, a cybersecurity training hub
based in the United States and impacting Africans in the diaspora.

With over a decade of experience working in Fortune 50 companies, Michael is not just a cybersecurity whiz but a game-changer for thousands looking to switch lanes into the world of cybersecurity.

Michael, who left the shores of Nigeria a few years ago after graduating as a Computer Science student from the Lagos State University and started his career over ten years ago, has risen to the top. His journey of innovation, excellence, hard work and a belief in the power of cybersecurity education is seeing the light of day.

He said, “What makes me stand out, is my knack for mentoring. Through the Cybersecurity program, I have had the privilege to train and mentor about 1,000 non-techies, guiding them through the cyber security space,” he disclosed.

Speaking on his impact among Africans in diaspora he noted, “I want to be a bridge, connecting dreams to the digital frontier.
My track record isn’t just about mentorship; it’s about helping them land jobs that can help them become financially stable.”

Many of his students are now financially independent as a result of the skills learnt from cybersecurity.

Concluding he said, Government can do more to mitigate against unemployment if they support and channel resources in giving to the youths the opportunity to get empowered in the tech space and most especially, cybersecurity.
