Obi Ibeto Joins Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education

August 15, 2025 | Boston, Massachusetts

Obi Ibeto, founder and CEO of ShieldForce Corporation, has joined the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education (MBAE) as a member, bringing his entrepreneurial expertise and commitment to workforce development to the organization.

In May 2023, Obi founded ShieldForce Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts, a cybersecurity firm that now represents healthcare providers, construction companies, and other businesses with comprehensive security solutions. His entrepreneurial journey reflects a dedication to innovation, community impact, and building a more secure digital future.

MBAE, established in 1988 by visionary business leaders, has been a driving force behind Massachusetts' transformation into a national leader in public education. The organization developed the groundbreaking "Every Child a Winner" school reform proposal that became the framework for the Education Reform Act of 1993—a national model that elevated Massachusetts to the top of national student achievement rankings.

MBAE's Enduring Mission:

• Closing racial and socio-economic education achievement gaps
• Connecting student learning to career opportunities and workforce needs
• Increasing economic mobility for historically marginalized communities
• Building the most educated and diverse workforce pipeline in the country

As a member, Obi Ibeto joins MBAE's coalition of business leaders who collaborate with employers, legislators, policymakers, educators, advocates, coalitions, chambers of commerce, industry associations, youth groups, and social justice organizations to advance educational improvements.

"I'm proud to be a part of an organization that has become a model for other states because of its strong track record of bringing about improvements in education so students can thrive and access career opportunities in Massachusetts," said Obi Ibeto.
