Jim Hake

Founder & Chairman, Spirit of America

Jim is the founder of the Spirit of America. Spirit of America's mission is to extend the goodwill of the American people to assist those advancing freedom, democracy and peace abroad. Jim is also a co-founder and CEO of SignalOne Media - a business established to invest in and create independent, commercial media enterprises (television, radio, Internet) in emerging democracies.

In response to Spirit of America's support of the 1st Marine Division, Major General James Mattis said, "The initiative and focused support provided by you and Spirit of America are beyond anything we have experienced. In an imperfect world with our Sailors and Marines going in harm's way, your gifts will reduce adversarial relationships and bridge cultural gaps. You have significantly impacted our ability to do good and, I fervently hope, reduce the potential for combat. Please accept my thanks for your selfless commitment to bringing peace to Iraq."

The Wall Street Journal says, "Jim Hake and the Marines are a coalition of the can-do." The Journal adds, "Jim Hake's organizational insight is to deploy the best practices of the modern U.S. economy - efficiency and speed" and "his operation in Los Angeles is wholly New Economy." The Los Angeles Times notes that, "Jim draws on a fundamental faith that his country is trying hard to be all that it aspires to."

Prior to Spirit of America, Jim was a technology and media industry entrepreneur and executive. In 2000 and 2001, he was recognized as a "Technology Pioneer" by the World Economic Forum at its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Jim was a founding partner and president of Access Media Inc. - an information and media company serving the information technology industry. At Access Media, Jim started the company's GII (Global Information Infrastructure) business unit. GII created some of the industry's first Internet-focused media programs. Jim sold Access Media's GII unit to SOFTBANK, the world's biggest investor in the Internet at the time. GII became a business unit of Ziff Davis - another SOFTBANK company - and Jim served at Ziff Davis as GII's chairman.

His efforts to advance the Internet were acknowledged by public and private sector leaders. Vice President Al Gore said Jim's work was "important to our country's future." Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich said Jim's work offered "a model for how important national objectives can be achieved by committed private sector interests working with the public sector in mind."

Among his public sector activities, Jim participated in the historic Presidents' Summit for America's Future where he served as an advisor on the use of the Internet and led a session on the Role of Technology for the Summit's delegates. Jim received from General Colin Powell the America's Promise "Red Wagon" in acknowledgment of his contribution to America's children. He served on the Technology Working Group of the Education Commission of the States formed by then-Iowa Governor Terry Branstad. Jim founded and served as the first president of the Friends of Arjay Miller (FOAM) - Stanford Business School's most long-lived student social institution.

Jim received a BA and graduated with distinction in Economics from Dartmouth College. He earned an MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. He lives with his family in Los Angeles, California.
