Zach serves as Compass Equity Solutions’ Founder and CEO and brings a unique mix of advisory experience.

Prior to founding Compass Equity Solutions, Zach spent several years as an M&A advisor at IndustryPro where he focused on working with owners and private equity groups in the lower middle market.

His work with private equity clients gave him insight into the characteristics of businesses that receive the highest valuations. His work with business owners – whose companies ranged in revenue from $5M to $200M+ – provided insight into the way that owners must adapt their operations as they scale. He currently serves as a Managing Director at IndustryPro where he leads value enhancement services.

While at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Zach advised the executive teams of some of the largest companies in the world as they sought to turn around their businesses and boost their profitability.

His diverse experience spans many industries and includes leading corporate development efforts, helping executives reach historic levels of profitability, partnering with executives to turn around their struggling companies, organization redesign, salesforce optimization, and pricing.

Zach holds a Bachelor’s degree from BYU and an MBA from Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business where he was awarded a full-tuition merit-based scholarship.
