LOS ANGELES, CA, June 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Adrian D. Ashkenazy has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Ashkenazy is a co-founder of the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance, where he has served as president since 2025 and previously as its first vice president. The organization is the first Jewish alumni association in Harvard University's history and the only special interest group officially recognized by the institution to represent all Jewish alumni worldwide. In his roles, he has focused on fostering unity, facilitating dialogue, and producing professional-caliber advocacy work that has resonated across the community.

He is also a founding board member of Ohana One International Surgical Aid and Education, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to surgical care in underserved regions worldwide. In this capacity, he supports innovative surgical training and collaboration technologies that bring advanced surgical education to communities around the globe.

In addition to these nonprofit roles, Mr. Ashkenazy serves as a member of several corporate boards. As a satirist, he is also the founder and editor of Caput in Arena, a publication that blends humor with informed commentary to bridge political divides from a centrist perspective.

Mr. Ashkenazy earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago Law School in 2002 and a bachelor's degree from Harvard College in 1996. He is admitted to the bars of California and New York.

Born in Los Angeles to a Jewish family, he credits much of his drive to the resilience of his father, a Holocaust survivor, and to the support of his wife, Magdalena, a recording artist who performs as Lvma Black and founded her own music label, Sister Army. He and Magdalena are the parents of two daughters.

Looking ahead, Mr. Ashkenazy aims to strengthen the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance with durable structures that sustain its mission beyond his tenure, to advance Ohana One's global health work, and to grow Caput in Arena into an influential voice in the modern media landscape.
