Founder + CEO at StocksToTrade

Zak is the founder and CEO of StocksToTrade amongst several other online businesses. He has an MBA from the University of Southern California and has spoken at Harvard University.

Zak has been the driving force behind much of the innovation StocksToTrade has embraced since its founding in 2009. He partnered with Tim Sykes after recognizing an underserved need in trading — a platform where news, strategy, and real-time data could all be accessed at the click of a button.

Over the decade-plus since, he’s recruited a top mentorship team and led the company’s AI efforts. This attention to the future is a big part of what’s kept StocksToTrade a top trading platform, an incredible educational resource, and a one-stop shop for traders.  

"There was an unfilled need within the fintech industry. So, we built out a trading platform that allows the user to hook it up to their preferred broker, and then use our specialized tools and algorithms to find the right trades."
