About Zach

Bio

Oh hello there! Thanks for taking a look at my TED profile! After exiting the consulting firm I co-built in my 20s, I took a break. Eight months of happy hours and existential walks around my neighborhood later, I realized I was tired of "go faster" being the only gear, for both me and our workplaces. My co-founders Juliette and Brooke (both here at TED Next) and I are building a brand new leadership development conference from the ground up that we are calling The Slowdown Summit. Our focus is on serving introverted and neurodivergent leaders by creating a development environment tailored to each attendee’s preferred learning style. I cannot wait to connect and welcome DM’s any time.
