Jon Lam, President & CEO
Jon founded Infinitum Education in 2003. During his 12 years of experience tutoring and 2 years of experience in corporate training, Jon discovered one simple, if overlooked fact. Students (or employees) who do not consistently practice what they have learned will not remember those concepts at a later date.
Armed with this realization, and finding that most academic software focused on teaching concepts rather than making them “stick”, Jon set out to create a company that would redefine “homework” for the 21st century. The resulting company, Ph03nix New Media, leverages the use of multiplayer video gaming and the power of the internet to engage students in order to create deep, intuitive understanding of subject material.
Jon is a graduate of the Haskayne School of Business. As a mentor in the Junior Achievement Student Venture Program, Jon was awarded the 2002/2003 Advisor of the Year Award for the year’s Most Outstanding Company. Jon has held positions at Deloitte & Touche LLP and Concorde Maintenance, where he was responsible for managing the operations of a $4MM business unit with over 200 employees. Currently, he serves on the boards of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary and the Level Up Society of Alberta. Jon is also enrolled in the CFA program, and is looking forward to the Level II exam this year.
