Senior CX & Operations

  • Zach collaborates cross-functionally to champion the strategic planning of Outschool.org’s initiatives and streamline day-to-day processes to maximize the impact of the work while nurturing the team’s well-being.

    Following 4+ years working in public schools, Zach gravitated towards non-traditional approaches to supporting the future success of young people that filled gaps in what public schools could offer. In 8+ years with the New York Public Library, he led the launch of large-scale program initiatives that served kids across NYC in developing the skills and positive identities needed to thrive today and tomorrow.

    As a lifelong learner with too many interests, you might find Zach out of work hiking with his kids, making digital music, cooking a new dish, or motorcycling.

    Zach’s home base is Brooklyn, New York.

  • Yanni ensures families feel supported and empowered as they navigate educational programs, while improving systems that help those programs work thoughtfully and effectively. Before joining Outschool.org, Yanni managed technical and operations teams across federal relief projects that kept small businesses and low-income families afloat through the hardships of the pandemic and beyond.
