Hey there, I’m an investor, speaker and author.

I enjoy speaking to audiences and sharing my life experiences. Inspiring others, sharing my mistakes and providing my personal insights to living a more fulfilling life is my passion.

I am the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Blue Mahoe Holdings Inc., a private investment firm that has ownership interests in a collection of diversified businesses operating in sectors including real estate, asset management, private credit, media and apparel, mainly connected to the Caribbean. Their main company Blue Mahoe Capital, Inc, an impact firm focused on affordable housing and asset management with a strong Caribbean focus received SEC qualification for their public offering to raise up to US$5 Million at US$10 per share, the first US-based company to receive a Reg CF qualification to raise capital to invest in the Caribbean. I founded Blue Mahoe Capital to give retail investors easier access to investment opportunities in the Caribbean.

I currently serve on the Alumni Board of Directors for the University of Miami as Vice President, the Latin America and the Caribbean Initiatives Advisory Board for the Herbert School of Business at The University of Miami, the Board of Directors for the Institute of Caribbean Studies in Washington, D.C., which gets the sitting President of the USA to declare June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month each year and the advisory board for the Caribbean School of Data based at the Mona School of Business at the University of the West Indies based in Kingston, Jamaica and funded by Google.org. I was also the first Future Leaders Representative for the USA on the Jamaica Diaspora Advisory Board which advised the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade for Jamaica and former Chair of the Development Bank of Jamaica Mentorship Innovation Entrepreneurship Programme (MIEP), serve on the Advisory Board for the Caribbean School of Data funded by Google.org and based at the Mona School of Business and Management in Jamaica and I am a member of the Board of Advisors of Kingston Creative, a movement with the mission to make Downtown Kingston a vibrant centre for creatives and creative entrepreneurship in the Caribbean.

I strongly believe in giving back, uplifting others and teaching people to fish, not just giving them the fish. I call it Compassionate Capitalism and I think that it is good for society.

one love,

David M.

My entrepreneurship journey began at 15 years old in Jamaica when I laid out a 15-year plan broken into blocks of 5 years that was to result in me being a positive role model for young people around the world.

Since then I have worked in Corporate America, Corporate Jamaica, a Presidential campaign, started multiple ventures, failed at a number of them, invested in companies, raised capital from investors and shared my lessons along the way.

I have also managed to have some fun too; Played football (soccer) for Real Mona F.C. in Jamaica; I was the leading goal scorer in the Kingston and St. Andrew Business House Football League in 2005; Co-driver of a winning rally team in Jamaica; went on tour with Sean Paul and T.O.K.; appeared in music videos; and got President Obama to sign a 50th Independence birthday card for Jamaica.

Entrepreneurship is a struggle but that does not mean that it cannot be fun.

I tell the ugly truths about life as an entrepreneur and share my lessons on how to deal with them. If it was easy then everyone would be doing it.
