Jason Trimiew speaking at SXSW 2023

Jason Trimiew

Principal


Jason Trimiew has spent his career building the programs, partnerships, and organizations that connect entrepreneurs, small businesses, and workers to the capital, contracts, and communities they need to grow. From microfinance in Kenya to supplier strategy at Meta, the through-line is the same: expanding economic opportunity.

Most recently, Jason served as Director of Supplier Strategy at Meta, where he architected the company's first enterprise-wide supplier strategy and led a 30-person global team across supplier lifecycle management, enterprise risk, sourcing governance, and supplier enablement — supporting $100B in annual spend from 20,000+ global suppliers. He owned Meta's digital transformation for sourcing, contracts, and supplier technologies, and built the supplier inclusion program that reached the Billion Dollar Roundtable in five years — faster than any company in history. In 2020, he designed the Meta Invoice Fast Track, an online capital marketplace that accelerated $80MM in payments to small and medium suppliers during COVID-19. For this work, Jason was named Advocate of the Year by the United States Department of Commerce in 2022.

Before Meta, Jason served as VP of Community Relations for the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee, where he designed programs generating $20MM in grants for Bay Area nonprofits and contracts for local businesses. As Managing Director at REDF — a venture philanthropy founded by KKR's George R. Roberts — he led business development, fundraising, and strategic partnerships, growing the organization's revenue by 150% and securing a $6M Social Innovation Fund grant that enabled national expansion.

Jason holds a master's degree in International and Development Economics from the University of San Francisco (2018 Professional Achievement Award) and a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Covenant College. He recently completed the Venture Capital Private Equity Program at Columbia Business School — providing TSG with deal structure and investment thesis insights to support startups and funds navigating those ecosystems — and is a participant of Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders at Stanford GSB.
