Background and education

Jason Hogg was born on August 8, 1971, to Dorothy and Russell Hogg, founder of MasterCard International, outside of New York City.[1] After living in England during his youth and later receiving his Bachelor of Arts from Colby College in 1993, Hogg continued his education at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management to earn his MBA.[2][3]

Career

After graduation from Cornell, Hogg began his career in secure electronic payments in 1992 at MBNA America, a small credit card company in Wilmington, Delaware.[4] He then transitioned to a special operations agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Operations Group 13 in New York City in 1998.[2] After working with the FBI for two years, Hogg redirected his career towards entrepreneurship.[2] This led him to co-found MBNA Canada and acted as Chief Business Development Officer – overseeing the brand's marketing and customer service.[4][5] Hogg agreed to sell MBNA Canada to TD Bank in 2012 for an estimated US$8 billion.[6]

Hogg partnered with Jonathan Finkelstein in 1999 to establish HorizonLive, Inc.[7] Hogg acted as president of the company until Blackstone Tactical Opportunities acquired it in 2000.[7][8] (11) From 2002 to 2005, he served as chief operating officer of Medsite, which was later sold to WebMD Health in September 2006 for US$41 million.[8]

Hogg and his group of investors launched Revolution Money Inc., a secure electronic payment platform, in 2005.[4] After four years of development, he sold the firm for $300 million to American Express Co. in the summer of 2009 [9] Upon purchase, Hogg joined American Express, and continued to lead the Revolution Money business, becoming president of American Express Serve Enterprise and responsible for online commerce and international platforms within the Enterprise Growth Group.[10]

After leaving American Express, Hogg partnered with private equity firm Blackstone Tactical Opportunities in 2014 to form B2R Finance – a real-estate lending platform offering buy-to-rent mortgages for single-family property investors, and served as its first chief executive officer.[5] The brand generated US$230 million in securitization in April – growing to US$300 million by November 2015.[5] Hogg led the organization to its first US$1 billion in loans. Under his leadership, B2R Finance was later rebranded as Lending.com in 2015.[11][12]

Hogg collaborated with Nicholas Johns to create Hangit, a location-based mobile advertising service, in 2014.[13][14] The firm received US$6.2 million in funding from Vesta Inc. in November, 2014 to support further development of Hangit.[14] Hogg was appointed as senior advisor, director, and CEO partner of Tritium Partners in 2016, and focused on the company's investment exploration in risk, cyber security, and business intelligence services.[15][12]

Aon named Hogg as their Leader of Aon Cyber Solutions on May 11, 2017.[16] Simultaneously, he succeeded Michael Patsalos-Fox as CEO of New York-based Stroz Friedberg – a company acquired by Aon at the end of 2016.[16][17]

An alumnus of Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, Hogg sits on Cornell's entrepreneurship advisory council and has been teaching entrepreneurship as a senior lecturer at Cornell Tech in New York City since 2009.[18][19] Subject areas include cloud computing, cyber security, and product development.[18]
