“Hello fear. Thank you for being here. You’re my indication that I’m doing what I need to do.”

—Cheryl Strayed

Hi, I’m Zachary. It’s nice to meet you. I probably drink too much coffee, but that’s okay.

I believe in challenging yourself, not being afraid to fail, staying humble, and embracing the process.

I have spent the last decade cultivating a deep understanding of Operations, a journey that has been marked by numerous experiences and challenges, shaping me into the professional I am today. Coming from a background of humble beginnings, I was instilled with a drive for excellence and achievement from a young age. Initially, success meant pursuing a conventional path – securing a stable job, financial stability, and ensuring a secure future. Yet, within this framework, there was little room for creativity, and I often found myself torn between conforming to societal expectations and following my innate passion.

To reconcile this conflict, I dedicated my evenings and weekends to exploring various aspects of Operations, delving into different methodologies and strategies. Whether it was optimizing processes, managing resources efficiently, or strategizing for organizational growth, I immersed myself in the intricacies of Operations. Through this exploration, I discovered my true calling – to make a meaningful impact through operational excellence.

While my journey has been marked by traditional career advancements, I realized that true fulfillment lies in pursuing work that ignites my passion and drives me to excel. My perception of success shifted from external validations to personal fulfillment and the ability to create tangible impact. Leveraging my background in sales, client management, and strategic planning, coupled with my fervor for optimizing processes and enhancing efficiency, I am excited to channel my expertise into elevating operational standards and driving organizational success.

My path to Operations has been a journey of self-discovery and growth, characterized by twists and turns that ultimately led me to the intersection of my passion and expertise. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my skills and insights to the field of Operations, and I am eager to embark on this next chapter of my professional journey.
