Wesley Ma
Wesley Ma (he/him) is a 2nd generation Taiwanese American who grew up in the metro Detroit area. Wesley has 8 years of founder experience in the startup space with multiple ventures involving medical software, pharmaceutical software, and care coordination software for limited-english speaking patients as well as refugees.
He is currently the CEO/Co-founder of HealthOpX/HelpOpX, which is a tech startup dedicated to improving the lives of underserved communities. Wesley's journey to the south began by receiving investment from a Birmingham, AL venture capital fund that required his company to relocate to Birmingham as well as implement his company's solution to advance health equity in the region. Initially hesitant, Wesley shared the news amongst friends and family and found that almost all his close friends’ parents had migrated from Alabama or Georgia, with a few coming from Louisville, KY. This greatly changed his perspective on the south, and as he began his work in Birmingham AL he was able to see the same love and fire that his friends/family showed back home. Not without its challenges, Wesley is able to call Birmingham his home after living there for more than three years.
