Our Team

Zeed's delivery team is built around one standard: the caliber of talent you'd expect from a top-tier data consulting firm, without the enterprise overhead. Led by a founder with 20+ years of experience as a Chief Data and AI Officer across healthcare, fintech, insurance, and retail, our practitioners bring deep functional expertise and cross-industry perspective to every engagement. When you work with Zeed, you get senior people — not junior staff with senior oversight.
