Jonathan Hsu
Hi! I’m Jonathan — a former high school math teacher turned portfolio manager, driven by a mission to expand access to education and shaping the future of learning and work.
My career began with Teach For America at the height of the pandemic, where I led students through unprecedented challenges and developed the resilience, creativity, and leadership to drive meaningful results. That experience deepened my commitment to dismantling systemic barriers and creating educational opportunity for all.
Today, I lead a $15M+ portfolio at McGraw Hill, overseeing strategy and execution for Economics and Geosciences portfolios, that reach over 200,000 learners annually. I drive revenue growth, shape product vision, and lead cross-functional teams — all while helping accelerate our digital transformation through innovative uses of content, data, and technology.
At the heart of my work is a belief in education as a powerful engine of equity and opportunity. I’m passionate about building solutions that unlock human potential and reimagine how we learn and work in a rapidly evolving world.
I hold a B.A. in Economics from the University of Southern California and an M.S.Ed. from the University of Pennsylvania, where I completed the Urban Teaching Residency program.
