Prior to founding MMG Partners, Dr. Ma was Head of the Global Securities Practice at Mitchell Madison Group/
marchFIRST. Previously, Dr. Ma was a Vice President/Partner at A.T. Kearney. Before joining A.T. Kearney,
Dr. Ma was a Consultant with McKinsey & Co. specializing in both Information Technology and in Capital
Markets. His work spanned four continents as he served many Exchanges, a major pharmaceutical firm and
several leading financial institutions

Prior to joining McKinsey, Dr. Ma held a third-level manager position at the NYNEX Corporation. As
department head of Software, he supervised the following projects: Options Trading Station developed on Sun
workstations while working with brokerage houses to perfect strategies for the trading station; Financial
Distributed Databases developed on a network of Sun workstations to store the financial data; and
distributed operating systems. In addition to project management, Dr. Ma was involved with marketing and
selling the Options Trading Station to various brokerage houses.

Dr. Ma has also worked in both the Real-Time Systems and Parallel Processing groups at MIT, where he
assisted in the implementation of a large scale multiprocessor system and wrote software to support parallel
programming languages. He also studied and managed an implementation of a discrete-time event driven
concurrent simulator, concentrating on different scheduling schemes. These scheduling schemes included Load
Balancing and Dynamic Repartitioning of processors. In these projects, he made heavy use of artificial
intelligence on Lisp Machines. Dr. Ma has also studied in depth Concurrency Control for Distributed
databases. In his thesis work on parallel processing, Dr. Ma conducted extensive performance modeling of the
concurrent simulator which ran on the parallel processor. The performance modeling showed that the
concurrent simulator had nearly linear speed-up. Also at MIT, Dr. Ma worked for the Information and Decision
Science group where he modeled and studied Optimal File Allocation for Distributed Databases, specifically
for a vulnerable Distributed Network. He also developed algorithms for solving the problem in polynomial
time.

Dr. Ma has also worked in the Theory of Computation group where he did crypto analysis on the Rabin and
William Public Key Cryptosystems. He discovered a method to break both Public-Key schemes by using proof of
the schemes equivalence to the factoring of a product of large prime numbers. This novel method showed the
vulnerability of both schemes to attack.

Dr. Ma received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) in 1979. In 1980, Dr. Ma received a M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
from MIT specializing in computer and communications security. His masters thesis is entitled "Critical
Analyses on some Public-Key Cryptosystems." More recently, Dr. Ma received a PhD in Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science from MIT specializing in distributed and parallel processing. His PhD thesis is
entitled "Efficient Message Based System for Concurrent Simulation." He minored in Digital Signal
Processing. Dr. Ma is also an Eagle Scout.
