Jona Oboza, Founder and Executive Chairman of Acceler8 AI, APAC–MENA AI-Native GTM, Growth and Revenue Leader

Jona Oboza — Founder · Executive Chairman, Acceler8 AI · APAC–MENA AI-Native GTM, Growth & Revenue Leader.

Founder · Executive Chairman, Acceler8 AI · APAC–MENA AI-Native GTM, Growth & Revenue Leader. I spent seventeen years inside the holding companies running media and ad-technology businesses. Then I left to build my own — AI-Driven Media ROI™, and a portfolio of OS-layer ventures across APAC, Greater China, MENA, and North America.

My career runs seventeen years across five corridor cities — Manila, Taipei, Singapore, Seoul, and Dubai — and the world’s leading advertising and media holding groups: WPP, Publicis, Omnicom, GroupM, Xaxis, and PubMatic. Ex-PubMatic, the NASDAQ-listed supply-side platform, where I was Country Manager for Southeast Asia and Korea. Country and regional profit-and-loss ownership, programmatic and platform leadership, and the launch of new markets from the ground up.

The through-line is that I carried institutional scale and learned its discipline before I left it to build — converting two decades of holding-company operating experience into an independent practice and a portfolio of ventures. I take selective senior corporate mandates in go-to-market, growth, and revenue leadership in non-competing sectors, alongside the Acceler8 AI portfolio.

I architected AI-Driven Media ROI™ — the proprietary practice, founded in 2024, that codifies how artificial-intelligence infrastructure attaches to measurable media return across cross-channel commercial spend, the discipline of record for translating AI into media outcomes.

I named the corporeneur technologist — the operator who runs the company, founds the venture, and builds the system at once, uniting three lineages the industry kept apart: the executive, the founder, and the technologist.

I hold a company and a portfolio of OS-layer ventures under Infinite Momentum Holdings, each an operating layer rather than a single product: pawfella, an operating system for a companion animal’s protection, care, and movement; TheExpatboss, an invitation-only lifestyle imprint for the high-growth expatriate; UndressingFlavors, made-to-measure flavour personalised to the palate; and apploop, the personalisation operating system underwriting the app economy — alongside Acceler8 AI, the commercial home of AI-Driven Media ROI™.

Industry recognition spans The Wires Global (Best Use of Data & Creativity) and Campaign Asia-Pacific (APAC 40 Under 40; Greater China Young Business Leader of the Year; Asia Pacific Programmatic Person of the Year).

The next stretch of my work is less portfolio than practice — coaching, mentoring, and training the next cohort of corporeneur technologists. A practice only counts for something if it can be passed on.
