Jason Ma is Founder and CEO of ThreeEQ, a distinguished family business. As an award-winning Chief Mentor of Next-Gen Leaders, acclaimed author of “Young Leaders 3.0”, and star former Forbes contributor on Mentoring Young Leaders, Ma is renowned for preparing Next Gens in UHNW families for greatness while enhancing family legacies. With 40 years of seasoned experience across education, technology, finance, and other sectors, and over two million miles of global travel, Ma has masterfully inspired and guided numerous next-gen leaders 1-on-1—from Gen Z high schoolers to Gen X CEOs—in achieving great outcomes from Ivy League/elite college admissions to high-end careers and next-level family and business success, all with well-being.

As a Forbes Global CEO Conference delegate by invitation only for 8 years and beyond his unparalleled mentorship, Ma is a well-connected strategic advisor and rainmaker for select UHNW families, corporate CEOs and Boards, and Family Offices, as well as an investor and CBO at AdXero, a disruptive incentivized media distribution technology venture. Underscoring his global influence, he has been a prominent member of the B20, the official G20 forum representing the global business community, contributing to policy recommendations on the future of work, human capital, and education for G20 leaders. Ma is one of a select few Americans appointed as a B20 member through the G20 Presidencies of Australia, Turkey, China, Germany, Argentina, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, India, and Brazil (2024). He is also an influential voice in AI, digital transformation, and trade & investment.

Ma’s thought leadership is featured in elite publications (including Forbes.com; Wealth-X; The CEO, Impact Wealth, Family Office, Black Tie, JustLuxe, and Cliente Luxury Magazines; Fast Company; Agreus Group) and shows (Family Office TV, The American Dreams, Family Business, and many others). He is a sought-after speaker at prestigious Family Office, Investment, CEO, and B20/G20 summits, and is a philanthropist (St. Jude/ALSAC Advisory Council member, SVCF partner, and active in faith). A father of two happy, compassionate working Gen Z daughters, he and the Ma family (the “MAfia”) value unconditional love, humor, and high standards in what matters. Ma holds a degree from UC Berkeley College of Engineering.

 

 

 

 

FAMILY VALUES

 

In the Ma family (playfully nicknamed the “MAfia”), ThreeEQ founder Jason Ma values unconditional love, humor, and high standards in what matters. ThreeEQ, a family business, integrates Jason’s family values with the following principles:

• Integrity and authenticity
• A client-first approach—their success is our success
• Compassionate leadership and connection
• Strategic and pragmatic contributions
• Creative, open-minded, and deep thinking
• Lifelong learning and growth
  

 

The Ma family (playfully, the “MAfia”) comprises two happy, compassionate Gen Z young adults. Sabrina shines as a top-performing senior software engineer and recognized young leader at Google. Lydia, a Penn Wharton summa cum laude alum of 2022, has inspired as a distinguished, top-performing security engineer at Salesforce Slack. Both siblings are on trajectories to become influential leaders in the tech industry.
