Michael Keddie
Training Academy Team Leader
Michael, despite his youthful looks, is old. His teenage children laugh at the slow speed as he types on his laptop and his phone. Despite this, he successfully forged a new career in cybersecurity when in his early 50s. He is now Academy Team Leader at Pentest People, where he trains recent graduates to become pen-testing security consultants. To do this, he uses his old skills, acquired from almost 30 years as a history teacher, along with his newfound knowledge built through lots of self-study and a Master’s in Cybersecurity. He likes to think that he would have got away with his career change if it weren’t for those pesky kids.
