Jason Ma, Founder and CEO of ThreeEQ, is an Award-Winning Chief Mentor of Next Gen Leaders, AI/Tech Investor, Global Business and Education Leader, Acclaimed Author, and Sought-After Speaker. He is a globally well-connected strategic advisor to UHNW families, CEOs, and Single Family Offices. Ma also serves as Chief Business Officer and an investor at AdXero, a patented incentivized media distribution AI/technology venture with industry-transforming impact and exceptional ROI/MOIC potential.

With over 40 years of seasoned industry experience in AI/technology, education, finance, media, advertising, e-commerce, distribution, telecom, and other sectors—combined with over 2 million miles of world travel—Ma brings an unparalleled combination of vision, strategic insights, and pragmatism to his work. After successfully leading Asia Pacific Sales for several leading U.S. wireless network infrastructure and Internet services companies, and co-founding and exiting YeePay, a Chinese m-/e-commerce venture, he went on to coach a “small army” of Next Gens, who gained admission to Ivy League and elite universities, launched and grew in high-end careers, and strengthened their personal growth and family legacies. Ma was Co-Founder, Interim CEO, and Senior College Counselor at IvyMax, a leading in-center education service and edtech SaaS provider that prepared students well for admission to top-tier universities and beyond. He also served as a Thiel Fellowship mentor, supporting exceptional young entrepreneurs.

Ma was a Forbes Global CEO Conference by-invitation delegate for eight years, further cementing his standing in elite circles. His global impact is underscored by over a decade of contributions as Silicon Valley’s leading member of the B20, the G20’s official global business forum. Across eleven G20 Presidencies—Australia, Turkey, China, Germany, Argentina, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, India, Brazil, and South Africa (2025)—he has helped shape private sector policy recommendations on the Future of Work, Employment, Human Capital, Skills, and Education, while being an influential voice on AI & Digital Transformation and Trade & Investment. Ma is one of a small handful of Americans appointed annually as a B20 member since 2014.

A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Ma is the acclaimed author of Young Leaders 3.0: Stories, Insights, and Tips for Next-Generation Achievers and former Forbes contributor on Mentoring Young Leaders (~2 million views). His insights have also been featured in elite publications such as Forbes, The CEO Magazine, Impact Wealth, Family Office Magazine, Red Hot Monde Magazine, and showcased at premier Family Office, Private Wealth, Investor, CEO, AI/Tech, B20/G20, Education, and Next Gen leadership summits and shows.

Renowned for his expertise in Next Gen leadership, family legacy enhancement, Ivy League/elite college admissions, high-powered careers, family office trends, strategic investments, AI/tech company building, and geopolitics, Ma’s guidance resonates deeply with UHNW families, Family Offices, and CEOs worldwide.

A philanthropist, Ma serves as a St. Jude/ALSAC Advisory Council lead member, an SVCF partner, and is engaged in his faith community. He is an inspired father of two happy, compassionate Gen Z daughters. The Ma family (playfully nicknamed the “MAfia”) values unconditional love, humor, and high standards in what matters. Ma holds a degree in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from UC Berkeley College of Engineering.
