Jonathan M. Herman is the driving force behind Strong Interactive, a parent company of groundbreaking Web3 ventures. His career spans multiple facets, from technology innovation to community development, all with the goal of having an impact beyond the boardroom and computer screens.
One of Herman's most successful ventures is Baller Mixed Reality, a company that specializes in creating autographed metaverse collectibles featuring athletes and entertainers. For its pioneering work, Baller earned the title of the "Most Pioneering Memorabilia NFT Company" of 2022 from Wealth & Finance Magazine.
Herman has also established Bocazon.com, the first company in Panama to offer online shopping across a wide variety of categories and major brands. It had its initial "soft launch" in 2016 and has since grown steadily.
Herman is also dedicated to social empowerment and community development. He served on the National Board of Directors for the Association for Enterprise Opportunity, one of the nation's largest economic development organizations. Here, he contributed to initiatives designed to foster economic growth and create opportunities for individuals from all walks of life.
At the "Bored Ape, Metaverse, and NFT" panel discussion at Van Jones' Black Future Weekend in 2022, Herman spoke about the intersection of technology and social empowerment. He said, "I find the current state of Web3 development to be one of the most inclusive business sectors that I've experienced, where quality business concepts are met with opportunities for collaboration across the spectrum of talented contributors. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology itself is a cooperative system that lends itself to an ethos of meritocracy and inclusion. Therefore, I believe that entrepreneurs from traditionally disadvantaged communities can find clear entry points, which benefits the entire tech sector by including the brightest minds from all quarters."
