Jonathan Joel Mentor is a revenue provocateur and innovation architect redefining how underrepresented founders scale, monetize, and build power.
He is the Founder & CEO of Successment, a revenue operations firm driving visibility and growth for underestimated startups, and of ZARI Mobility, a SaaS platform reshaping financial inclusion and risk modeling in emerging markets.
Jonathan also owns a growing portfolio of scalable intellectual property, including data systems and strategic frameworks designed for public–private deployment.
He is the creator of RevOps Science®, a proprietary framework that transforms operations into recurring revenue engines. He also leads the Digital Nomad Summit—a global platform connecting investment, policy, and innovation—and Digital Nomad Weekly in Dominican Today, a column that challenges the status quo of innovation coverage in Latin America.
In 2024, he was nominated for the United Nations World Summit Award for his impact on digital inclusion and entrepreneurial ecosystems across the Global South.
He operates from Santo Domingo, where he is quietly developing Casa de Mentor—an invitation-only foundation and intellectual engine shaping long-term influence, ownership, and institutional scale.
His work has been featured in Business Insider, Fast Company, Diario Libre, and El Nuevo Diario, and he has collaborated with the Founder Institute, Promipyme, Techstars, Parallel18, INDOTEL, MICM, UNIBE, PUCMM, and ProDominicana.
Above all, Jonathan is the father of Zariah Rose Mentor. His mission is guided by authenticity, strategy, and legacy.

→ Inject $100 million in direct economic growth into underserved ecosystems

Provoke Visibility provides fuel for the global ecosystem and high-impact projects through training, speaking, and Casa de Mentor’s capital, mentorship, and philanthropy.
