Our Purpose  ·  Varney Group LLC

We don't just advise.
We build.

Frameworks, partnerships, and programs that translate emerging technology into lasting, measurable impact — for organizations ready to lead with purpose.

01
AI Adoption & Workforce Strategy

Helping organizations move from AI awareness to AI action — with roadmaps, governance frameworks, and workforce innovation strategies that deliver real outcomes.

02
Emerging Market Partnerships

Building strategic partnerships across West Africa and beyond — grounded in ground-level market knowledge across banking, telecom, oil & gas, and government sectors.

03
Cross-Sector Collaboration

Facilitating partnerships between private sector, government, and civil society — aligning diverse stakeholders around shared goals and actionable initiatives.

04
Leadership & Capacity Building

Mentorship programs, leadership development, and capacity-building initiatives for emerging leaders — particularly in underrepresented and underserved communities.

05
Social Impact Program Development

Designing and launching programs that create equitable access to technology, education, and economic opportunity — with clear metrics and sustainable models.

Built from lived experience,
not just expertise.

Jong Massaquoi is a purpose-driven technology and global partnerships leader with experience working at IBM and Microsoft. Born in Liberia and shaped by lived experience across West Africa and the United States, he draws on both worlds to inform the work he does today — bridging emerging markets with global best practices in a way that is both authentic and actionable.

Today at Microsoft, he advises enterprise organizations on AI adoption and workforce transformation, having contributed to multimillion-dollar deals over his tenure at the company.

Outside of work, Jong is deeply committed to giving back — both locally in his community and back home in Liberia. He donates his time and resources to a number of nonprofits and is consistently involved in creating access and opportunity for young people worldwide.
