As a father and tech CEO twelve years ago, Ma had started noticing that most young people had yet to unleash their full potential. He decided to dedicate his second career to transforming young achievers and preparing them to gain admission to great universities, thrive in impactful careers, and cultivate powerful mindsets and soft skills. Through the years, Ma has demonstrated a distinctive track record in successfully guiding 1-on-1 hundreds of Gen Zers and Millennials while being a trusted advisor to the younger students’ parents. Their great outcomes achieved include: More optimized academic curriculum, school-year and summer activities, social life, and well-being as a competitive college student. More optimized career and business strategies, activities, social life, and well-being as a rising leader at work.

Ma is the former Forbes contributor on Mentoring Young Leaders for elite college admissions, unconventional higher education, next-gen leadership, and entrepreneurship success with 1.4 million views and counting. He also authored Gen Z: Understanding Tomorrow’s Digital Workers in an eBook. Black Tie Magazine has named Jason Ma Preeminent Mentor For Next-Gen Leaders. Clientele Luxury Magazine has featured him as one of eight Industry Men of 2020 for his Leadership 3.0 Intelligence. Ma’s been featured also in Business Rockstars, Fast Company, CNBC Asia (Managing Asia and Squawk Box), Channel NewsAsia, WealthBriefingAsia, JustLuxe, iHeartRadio, IndiaWest, Teen Kids News, and other media. In his own family (playfully, the “MAfia”), Ma values unconditional love, humor, and high standards on what matters. He and his wife are blessed with two happy, compassionate Gen Z daughters—a Google software engineer and a Wharton sophomore—both with tech industry leadership aspirations. BOARD/CEO ADVISOR, GLOBAL BUSINESS RAINMAKER, EXECUTIVE COACH, & MEMBER of THE B20 WITH THE G20 Select tech companies, enterprises, and family offices find Jason Ma’s strategic and pragmatic advice and high-level connections around the world for global business and private equity dealmaking invaluable in adding to their ROI, growth in revenue, profit, and portfolio value, and rewarding exits. He’s currently advising select tech startup to unicorn companies in B2B software, B2B and mobile blockchain payment solution, B2B social network platform, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, edtech, and education services. Additionally, Ma privately advises chosen C-suite/senior executives in taking their own business and personal successes and fulfillment to next levels. Jason Ma is a leading member of the Future of Work and Education Task Force at the Business 20 (B20) with the G20. He also observes Digital Transformation and Trade & Investment at the B20. As the private sector’s voice of the G20 community, the B20 recommends policies to the G20 Leaders and governments and fosters dialogue between the public and private sectors, representing the global business community across all G20 member states and all economic sectors. Through the G20 and B20 presided by Australia, Turkey, China, Germany, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia in 2020, Ma is one of only a few hundred private sector leaders worldwide perennially handpicked to engage and contribute as B20 members. Ma is a member of the Global Advisory Council at the World Chinese Economic Summit, member of the Steering Committee for family office events by DC Finance, and charter member of the Family Office Club. He was a Pacific Basin Economic Council member, Kairos Society mentor, and Thiel Fellowship mentor. For eight years, Ma was a delegate to the Forbes Global CEO Conference. Ma is one of “The World’s Top Experts” (fellow Experts include Tom Peters, Mark Thompson, Seth Godin, Heidi Roizen, Vinod Khosla, Guy Kawasaki) and an investor at Audvisor, a leading corporate communication and learning app. Ma is also a luminary-expert for IfOnly, which provides clients with unique experiences with luminaries. Ma’s perspective is enhanced by 35 years of seasoned industry operating experience in innovative technology, education, and other industries, and over 2 million miles of world travel across Asia Pacific/China, Americas, Europe, and Middle East ever since he earned his UC Berkeley engineering degree. As a senior tech business executive earlier in his career, Ma successfully sold big-ticket systems and services internationally to various major mobile operators, Internet service providers, and enterprises. He co-built leading tech companies and teams (subsequent IPO or M&A), and co-founded, invested in, and exited astutely from a few U.S. and Asian TMT, edtech, and education services companies. Along the way, he has amassed a high-level global network.
