About Electus

Electus Global Education Co, Inc. is a Florida/Texas-based hybrid edtech/fintech social enterprise startup with ground-breaking educational and financial AI-powered technologies that empower young people (6-18 years) to learn financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career (FLEC) skills as well as income-generating skills and behaviors at home, in school, and in their communities.

Electus is redefining the intersection of real-world education, financial empowerment, life improvement, and technological inclusion, breaking down barriers to opportunity for potentially millions of young people nationwide. By integrating experiential education with financial access, we are breaking systemic barriers to opportunity, particularly in underserved communities where economic disparity, financial exclusion, and educational gaps persist.

Electus Education aims to become a global leader in education-driven economic mobility—creating a scalable, sustainable model that turns learning into earning, financial capability into lifelong wealth-building, and curiosity into career discovery and selection and then work readiness.

We are striving to be a high-growth, impact-driven organization, building the world's most powerful "earn-and-learn" educational ecosystem and equipping youth with the skills, behaviors, and financial access they need to achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency​ so they can live better lives.

Seeking An Impact CEO

Electus is seeking an impact-driven leader with a proven track record of scaling mission-driven organizations and startups with a strategic acumen to drive governance, financial sustainability, and high-impact partnerships.

Founders and partners strongly value lived experience—whether through personal, professional, or community-driven work—understanding that true leadership often comes from those who have navigated and overcome the challenges we seek to address.

We seek a CEO with an intrinsic alignment to our mission and who understands the bigger picture of our impact—economic growth, workforce development, systemic financial inclusion, and social mobility—positioning Electus as a high-impact, scalable force for change.
