Introduction

The era of digital innovation and data futures has arrived, and if you aren’t prepared, you may never catch up. Things are changing with such velocity that what is cutting-edge today will be obsolete tomorrow.

This is why Michael is writing Data Revolutions, the Rise of an Asset. We don’t just need a blueprint for the future; we need a practical guide to help us prepare for what’s coming. It isn’t just any guide—it’s the culmination of the pioneering work he's been leading to turn data into a real-world asset and to redesign our economy. This book puts the power to shape this new reality in your hands. By redefining the future of work, reshaping our educational systems, and aligning AI with people, we’re not just preparing for today, but for generations to come.

Michael has spent decades envisioning and actualising a future that most can’t even imagine. His personal and professional life has prepared him to elegantly foresee the complex world of technology, pioneering solutions that have reshaped businesses and set new benchmarks across industries.

Michael's frequently asked how he connect the dots so clearly to determine the path that’s shaping the world. The reality is, it all boils down to an intricate intertwining of circumstance and experience that enabled him to see what most people cannot.

By applying his knowledge gained from decades of research and developing real solutions, Michael is well equipped along with the wider Mingzulu team to assist business & government leaders in better preparing for a future that benefits all of us and brings greater joy.  As we stand on the cusp of tomorrow, he invites you to join us on this journey. Let's embrace unconventional ideas, challenge the status quo, and build a future that we all believe in.

The future is closer than you think; be ready!

Michael is a globally recognised expert in future technologies, data scholar, industry advisor, and innovation evangelist.  Dedicated to unlocking human potential through data and technology. He has held senior roles at leading global organisations, including Mastercard and JP Morgan, and has been instrumental in guiding future cities by addressing complex digital and data challenges.

Michael advises investors, startups, C-suite executives, and governments on future technologies, AI, and data— helping them cut through the noise, prepare for rapid change, and excel in an ever-evolving world.     Which is why he was a perfect fit to join our community.

Welcome to the team Michael - we at Mingzulu are looking forward to working with you, as are many of our partners and clients.

What a start to 2025....and there is a lot more to come :-)
