Jean-Marie Cordaro
CEO & Founder of Bonzai.pro — building a safer, creator-first way to monetize audiences.
My Journey
I didn’t start in boardrooms — I started in the streets, as a street performer. That’s where I learned to capture attention, tell stories, and turn moments into lasting connections.
Those lessons stayed with me. Over the last 15 years, I’ve built communities, companies, and now a platform: Bonzai.pro. From street audiences to digital ones, I’ve been obsessed with the same question: how do we create real independence for creators?
Today, my mission is clear: give creators the tools to own their revenue, their audience, and their future. That’s why I built Bonzai — a creator-first platform with banking-grade payouts and an all-in-one operating hub.
You’ll find my work across formats: essays on Medium, talks on YouTube, and product innovation at Bonzai.pro.
