In said karate class was a mysterious guy wearing a suit and he even pressed the cheeks of young Maya. Later in the episode, Kaz mentioned about Maya’s uncle who runs the organization from the topmost chair.

It is long rumored that Kingpin, from Daredevil, will be making his way into the MCU and Vincent D’Onofrio would be back to reprise his role as Wilson Fisk. Given that Echo is closely connected to Kingpin as she is one of his pawns in the comics, it is really possible that he is the uncle of Maya, the one she and Kaz were talking about, the same person who met with her while in karate class when she was a kid.
