Jesse Mejia was born in South
Central LA to parents who had recently immigrated to the US from El
Salvador. As he attended a public elementary and middle school his
potential was recognized by a school counselor. She encouraged him
to apply to prep schools way outside of his neighborhood. He took
her advice and was admitted to Phillips Exeter Academy in New
Hampshire – a whole new world to Jesse.
Syracuse University was
his next academic stop where he earned a degree in Communications.
He then worked for Dun & Bradstreet for several years before
earning his MBA at Georgetown. In the ten years that followed, he
worked for General Motors and Volkswagen Group of America rising to
the position of Corporate Strategy Officer for VW Credit, Inc. But
Jesse’s heart wasn’t in it. He wanted to pursue a full-time
occupation that aligned his personal background, his educational
experiences, and his calling to help other Latinos achieve some of
the same success that he had.
Jesse left VW to run two
companies focused on helping students and fraternal organizations
break through cultural issues to achieve success. His companies are
MBA
Catalyst and Collegiate Catalyst. Jesse
enjoys traveling and spending time with his wife and daughter. He’s
also an author, a sought after motivational speaker, and a member
of the National Speaker’s Association.
