About (NEW)
“We, the Asian American business leaders of America, are tired, angry and afraid — and not for the first time.
We are tired of being treated as less than American, subject to harassment and now, every day, we read about another member of our community being physically attacked — simply for being Asian. We are afraid for the safety of our loved ones. We are angry that our families can no longer go outside in their own neighborhoods where they have lived for decades because it may not be safe.

Co-Founder & Board Chair
San Francisco, CA
Justin Zhu is an activist, entrepreneur and technologist. He is the co-founder and former CEO of Iterable, a marketing platform that powers communications to billions of people on behalf of companies including DoorDash, Zillow and Coinbase. Over his eight years as CEO, he grew the company to over 400 employees and valued the company at $2 Billion.
In response to the rise of anti-Asian violence and the Atlanta Spa Shootings which killed 8 people, 6 of whom were Asian women, Justin along with Dave Lu, Wendy Nguyen and a team of passionate volunteers launched a bold public letter to express our outrage and demand resources and systemic change needed to end the crisis of anti-Asian hate & discrimination. In just 10 days following the shootings, 1000 AAPI leaders signed the letter, standwithasianamericans.com launched with the letter translated into 13 languages and the letter was published in The Wall Street Journal. The unprecedented effort uniting the Asian American community created national awareness of anti-Asian violence and went on to gather over 8000 signatures, including from CEOs of Zoom, Alphabet, Doordash, George W. Bush, Andre Igoudala, and Katie McGrath & J.J. Abrams.
As the former Executive Director of Stand with Asian Americans, since 2022, Justin has led several national mobilizations, including a 6-city rally for the first anniversary of Vicha Ratanpakdee’s passing, an 11-city rally for first anniversary of the Atlanta Spa Shootings, the 30-year anniversary of Sa-I-Gu (LA Riots) and 40-year anniversary of Vincent Chin. Justin continues to focus on activating SwAA’s grassroots movement of empowered Asian Americans backed by a strong platform to defend our community from anti-Asian violence & discrimination.
