Consultant. Connector. Collaborator.
I’m Zach Reizes, a strategist and facilitator who helps organizations transform bold ideas into meaningful action. I’ve secured over $80 million in funding for economic development projects, designed a statewide energy conference for over 450 attendees, and led initiatives that drive growth, collaboration, and lasting change.
Known for my ability to connect people and ideas, I specialize in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and leadership development. Whether you’re looking to align diverse teams, unlock new funding opportunities, or build a vision for the future, I bring the experience and creativity to make it happen.
My guiding principles.
I am an experienced facilitator, association manager, conference organizer, grant writer and strategist. When I set my mind to a task, we get it done through team effort and collaboration.
I've been hired to work on multimillion dollar grants and to plan multi-hundred person events. Through it all, my consistent guiding principles are:
The magic of making a connection between two passionate people is what I live for, and in project based work, I prioritize bringing people together to achieve shared goals. I naturally seek common ground between people and ideas, because I believe that an interdisciplinary approach improves all outcomes and amplifies our ability to create something greater than ourselves.
A thriving community is one where everyone has a voice and a chance to succeed. Authenticity is a cornerstone of the trust triangle and is a critical component of my daily life. At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating healthier, fairer systems where people and communities can thrive.
Vision is the blueprint, but execution builds the structure —great ideas only matter if they’re turned into tangible results. I strive to see the bigger picture while translating bold ideas into actionable plans.
