Maxwell (Max) Livingston Meyer (born May 16, 1990 in Spearfish, SD) is an American social entrepreneur and pianist.[1][2][3][4][5] Currently, Max is the CEO of Getmii, a social media application, and serves on the boards of Two Box Ventures and Masii.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Early Life[edit]
Max became well-known at a young age as a jazz pianist in his community of the Black Hills when he won America's Most Talented Kid, a former PAXTV show similar to American Idol.[15] At 16, he matriculated to Phillips Academy to finish his secondary education before attending and graduating from Harvard with degrees in Economics and East Asian Studies.[15][1][5][16] Upon his graduation from Harvard, Max commenced his career as a management consultant for McKinsey & Co. in Asia, where he became the fast-promoted consultant in the company's history.[17]
Present Day[edit]
Max remained at McKinsey for three years before leaving to start his own ventures out of Thailand: Getmii, Two Box Ventures and Masii.[1][2][18][19][3][20][5][16] In multiple interviews, Meyer and team state that his shift out of management consulting was largely due to his belief that he could help the Nepali people following the April 2015 Nepal earthquake through technology, which later spun into a social media application (Getmii).[8][21]
Today, Max serves as the CEO of Getmii and oversees his other ventures with his partners, Darryl Lau and Matthias Jürgens.[2][18][3][19][17][16][22]
