Zach McGillis, Business Broker

Zach McGillis has worked at a senior level in sales, finance and business consulting for more than two decades. His career started at several Fortune 500 companies, where he gained deep knowledge of financial management and corporate strategy, before he followed his passion for entrepreneurship.

Zach holds the Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) designation from the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). At the University of Minnesota he earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees covering Finance and Management of Information Systems, and then an MBA with a Finance concentration.
