Knewton GMAT Prep CEO Jose Ferreira eats standardized tests for breakfast. While many people enjoy waking up to a cup of coffee and the sports section, Jose likes his eggs scrambled with a side of Data Sufficiency. And though that might not be known as the breakfast of champions, Jose has repeatedly earned perfect scores over the past two decades on the GMAT and every other major standardized test.

Jose founded Knewton to help test-takers maximize their scores by combining the latest adaptive learning technology with his in-depth knowledge of how the test was actually designed. Prior to founding Knewton, Jose served as an executive at Kaplan, where he led a company-wide re-engineering effort that designed courses Kaplan still uses today. He became known as "The Antichrist" inside Educational Testing Service (ETS) for his code-breaking methods; Jose is the only person ever to have developed test-prep strategies so effective that a major test-maker was forced to remove an entire question type.

Beyond test prep, Jose has also been a derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs and a Partner at New Atlantic Ventures (formerly Draper Atlantic), investing in new media and SaaS companies.

Jose graduated from Carleton College with a B.A. in Philosophy, and received his MBA from Harvard Business School.
