entrepreneur | developer | strategist
Zack has been managing software projects and deploying great software for over a decade.
After graduating from Yale Law School in 2006, during which time Zack worked for McKinsey & Company as a management consultant, Zack founded Playlore, a game development studio. At Playlore, Zack managed a team of 50 developers and artists to create the first real-time 3D sports game to launch on social networks and an acclaimed mobile game featured on the App Store in over 100 countries.
Zack then developed Briefit - an artificial intelligence application designed to ease the burden on legal, compliance and regulatory personnel. Briefit can take a compliance or regulatory document in any format, analyze it and return the most relevant related regulatory documents in real-time. Briefit’s library consists of several hundred million pages of regulatory materials which are updated constantly using custom crawlers. Briefit can also create instant summaries of regulations.
Currently, Zack is working on signafide.com - the industry-leading platform to verify, validate and challenge petition signatures. Signafide dramatically improves the accuracy of petition and candidate signature review projects - resulting in multiple successful signature campaigns and challenges in several states. Zack manages Signafide's revolutionary SaaS platform which uses deep learning, sophisticated algorithms and cloud-based infrastructure to produce extremely accurate signature reviews tailored to each state's changing laws and regulations.
