Mentors & Success Stories

Real mentors | Real stories | Real results.

Meet John Kwame

Head Instructor | Cybersecurity Expert & Career Coach

When John left Ghana, he worked as a bank teller earning just $1,400/month. No degree. No tech background. Just raw drive. Within a year, John broke into the cybersecurity field — landing a $180K role as a cybersecurity analyst at a leading retail company. Since then, he's committed his career to helping others do the same. “I know what it’s like to start with nothing. I built this system to give others the playbook I never had.” Through Better Cyber Career, John has mentored thousands of students, providing the frameworks, feedback, and confidence needed to help them land high-paying, remote cybersecurity roles.
