For Next Gens and Families Private 1:1 coaching and mentorship for elite college and grad/professional school admissions, leadership and career advancement, and well-being |
“You get through to these kids in a way most can’t.” —Fortune 500 CEO
“You have a gift in how you work with these kids. I get it.” —Don Levy, former SVP, Sony Pictures
ThreeEQ inspires and guides select middle/high school, college, and graduate students, and young professionals, through highly personalized, private 1:1 coaching and mentorship to achieve strong outcomes and to grow with well-being and happiness.
Private mentees have earned admission to top colleges/universities and graduate/professional schools, built and risen in high-impact careers, grown as emotionally and socially intelligent leaders, and strengthened family unity and legacy.
Each engagement is personally led by Mr. Ma, supported by Team ThreeEQ, and designed to deliver consistently strong outcomes among coachable, committed private client students and parents.
The greatest cost is opportunity loss and/or long-term regret, not fees. It often comes from delayed trusted third-party guidance, misdirection, or lost momentum at critical moments—or a combination. We help prevent that.
ThreeEQ includes elite admissions, career, life, and executive coaching and mentorship, and goes deeper. We integrate practical psychology, strategic positioning, and holistic development. Next Gens build growth mindset, strategic thinking, high-impact activities and habits, soft skills, leadership and execution abilities, and key relationships to perform and advance at their best across education, life, and career.
At the core is Mr. Ma’s well-established 4S and 3EQ framework:
• 4S: Visionary Story, State, Strategies, and Soft and Hard Skills
• 3EQ: Practical Emotional, Social, and Leadership Intelligence
>> High School Students
>> College Students and Young Adults
>> Parents & Family Leaders
Jason Ma chaired the Family Office & Private Wealth Legacy Summit 2025 and moderated its opening panel, “Bridging Generations—Wealth Transfer Dialogues Between Parents and Heirs,” in the Hamptons. A special moment with his two Gen Z daughters, Sabrina and Lydia, contributing together onstage.

For Enterprises and Senior advisory, global rainmaking, and major dealmaking
“Jason Ma has proven to be an extremely astute company builder and global business leader.” —Alfred Chuang, Founder & Former CEO, BEA Systems “Jason Ma is the trusted voice you want in the room to navigate what really matters next.” —Principal, Single Family Office
Jason Ma personally serves select private and public companies, UHNW family enterprises, and Single Family Offices (SFOs) as a senior advisor and rainmaker. Trust and discretion matter. He is engaged at inflection points where leadership teams need faster clarity, tighter alignment, and access to the right decision-makers to move major initiatives forward. Common triggers include leadership transitions, strategic capital decisions, partner or M&A paths, restructuring, and pivotal growth initiatives. Work may include: • Global rainmaking and major dealmaking: targeted introductions to key decision-makers—strategic buyers, investors, partners, and operators—paired with clear positioning, a precise ask, and end-to-end follow-through to help drive deals to close. • Senior advisory at inflection points: discernment through key decisions, restructuring, and leadership transitions • Major initiatives and deal support: narrative, sequencing, and stakeholder alignment across partnerships, strategic capital, acquisitions, and large initiatives • Sustainable advantage under pressure: stronger decision systems, leadership depth, and execution governance • Enterprise pattern recognition: perspective shaped by decades across technology, education, finance, media, and geopolitics, plus work with CEOs and boards, and the B20/G20 • Legacy, governance, and succession: when family dynamics intersect with enterprise outcomes • AI/tech direct investing: sharing and evaluating select deals, and long-term capital strategy . ![]() Jason Ma and Blackstone Chairman & CEO Steve Schwarzman at B20/G20 China Not a management consulting firm. No junior teams. No generic decks. Personally led, selective, and discreet. Jason is also Chief Business Officer and an investor at AdXero, a patented applied AI/tech venture creating a new category in a $700B+ legacy industry. AdXero currently operates with a low public profile by design. Across ThreeEQ and AdXero, Ma focuses on advancing innovation, human and financial capital, and long-term value creation for enterprises and families.
