Our Mission

Trusted Content at the Scale the Moment Requires

OMDA is the architecture for what comes next — built for a funding environment that just proved the traditional model fragile beyond recovery.

What We Do

Building Trusted Digital Content Ecosystems in Southeast Asia

Civic education. Executive leadership. Science-based wellness. All produced by an AI platform that delivers bilingual content across six channels simultaneously.

We operate from Bangkok with regional reach planned across the Philippines and Singapore. And we operate with a financial model that generates 42% of Year 1 income from earned revenue — so that no single government funder can switch us off.

Grant-enhanced, not grant-dependent. The most important structural distinction between OMDA and every other civic education organization in Southeast Asia.

Executive education in Bangkok
Why OMDA Is Built Differently

Three Structural Advantages

Earned Revenue Architecture

Executive education tuition, platform licensing, and wellness program fees generate 42% of Year 1 income independently of any institutional grant. Unprecedented for a civic nonprofit.

Variable Cost Structure

49% of costs are variable — they only deploy when programs are confirmed. No enrollment confirmation means no delivery cost commitment. The downside is structurally protected.

AI Production Scale

FORGE produces 250+ bilingual, multi-format content pieces per month across six platforms simultaneously. The scale advantage is no longer limited to well-funded state programs.

Founding Leadership

Randy McGraw

Founder & Chair, Overseas Media Development Alliance

29 years at the intersection of media distribution, high-value partnerships, and APAC market leadership — including 4 years as Head of Business Development for Amazon Prime Japan, where he led the NTT DoCoMo and KDDI bundling deal.

Prior to founding OMDA, Randy served as Chief Commercial Officer of one of Thailand's leading data and AI consultancies — with over 400 enterprise deployments across 12 years — where he built and deployed production AI systems for enterprise and government clients across Southeast Asia.

His operating history spans DIRECTV Japan, HOOQ (Singtel/Sony/Warner joint venture), and 35+ corporate partnership deals across 8 countries with $2.3B in total deal value.

A permanent operational base in Bangkok, fluency across Thai, Japanese, Indonesian, and US regulatory environments, and two years building production AI systems inside Thailand's leading AI firm.
