Zak holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from Stellenbosch University, located in the Cape Winelands of South Africa. It was there that he soon realized his career passions, in fact, lay in the surrounding vineyards.

After completing an MBA in food and wine at one of the select few institutions globally to offer such a program, Zak briefly consulted for an exporter of Italian technology in Bologna, Italy.

With well-rounded experience in PR, marketing, finance and business development, Zak approaches his work with creativity and vigor to drive innovation and commercial value.

Zak’s experiences with brands such as Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Wines of Chile, and Ferrari Trento have given him an innate ability to bring to life the stories of global brands through PR and marketing.

Zak is a native of South Africa who adapts well to the ‘terroir’ of wherever oenology takes him. When he’s not behind his laptop, you’ll find him perusing out in the vineyards, or in the kitchen cooking up a storm with a glass of wine in hand, and Sam Cooke playing in the background. Zak holds a diploma from the Cape Wine Academy and is always testing his palate through the discovery of unique wine regions.
