Elite Global AI Assembles Dream Team of AI Experts with Google, Unicorn, and Ivy-League Pedigree

Elite Global Intelligence Technology has announced a major expansion of its talent network, bringing on board professors, researchers, and industry professionals from North Africa, the United States, Asia, and India. The recruits include academics with widely cited publications and practitioners with experience at leading firms such as Flutterwave, Andela and the likes.

For the company, the move is not just about increasing headcount,it is about reshaping how businesses and governments prepare their workforces for the artificial intelligence era.

The new hires bring expertise in machine learning engineering, generative AI, ethics and policy, automation, and digital workforce development. Some are professors advancing frontier research, while others are industry experts who have built scalable systems in finance, logistics, and commerce. Together, they will help clients tackle one of the hardest problems in AI: turning ambition into measurable results.

“By bringing on board the 1% of the 1% such as professors, innovators and industry leaders from across continents to drive AI to the emerging market, we are proving that talent has no borders,” said Vwakpor Efuetanu, CEO of Elite Global Intelligence Technology. “This expansion is not just about recruitment, it’s about building sustainable pathways for businesses to thrive in an AI-driven future.”

The timing is critical. Global demand for AI talent is soaring, yet McKinsey reports that more than 40% of companies struggle to find the people needed to scale AI solutions. Many organizations are stuck with pilot programs and underperforming tools because of this talent gap.

Elite Global’s pitch is to assemble an international bench of experts who combine technical depth with strategic guidance. The academics joining the organization bring peer-reviewed research that informs responsible AI deployment, while industry leaders contribute hard-won insights from scaling technology in startups and multinational corporations.

Last year, the company trained more than 27,000 people across 30 countries in AI-related skills and facilitated externship opportunities with Fortune 500 companies. It also formalized an MoU with Wesley University in Nigeria to co-develop AI curricula and secured a government partnership in Ghana to expand digital workforce programs. By strengthening its team with global talent, it aims to accelerate these efforts and give clients access to cutting-edge expertise.

For Nigeria, where Elite Global Intelligence Technology is regional, the expansion could have an immediate impact. Sectors from banking to agriculture are racing to digitalize but face shortages of skilled professionals. The company argues that embedding global experts into Nigerian workforces will reduce reliance on outsourcing while building long-term, homegrown capacity.

For international partners, the attraction lies in the blend of global and local perspectives. A multinational in New York or Singapore can tap into Elite Global’s AI expertise while also gaining insights about emerging markets in Africa and Asia, an increasingly valuable dual advantage.

“The future of work is being rewritten now,” Vwakpor Efuetanu said. “It will belong to those who can adapt, learn, and lead with AI. What we are building is not just for today; it’s a foundation for the next decade of innovation.”

With its expanded network, Elite Global Intelligence Technology says it will support corporations, governments, and startups alike. Governments can use its expertise to grow digital economies and create employment. Startups gain affordable access to world-class guidance. Enterprises receive the workforce transformation needed to cut costs, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in an AI-first world.

From Lagos to Bangalore, Cairo to California, the company’s message is consistent: talent is the new infrastructure. By matching academic research with enterprise execution, and aligning global expertise with local opportunities, Elite Global is betting that its model will set it apart in the race for AI leadership.
