Zachary L. Zavidé
Born in Kuwait but forced to leave during the Gulf War in an epic road trip through 4 countries. Following that his childhood turned out to be a tale of two cities shuttling between Paris and London. Homeschooling on the Eurostar turned out to be the only option for his education. He graduated with a BA at age 14 from the University of Westminster and with an MS from Cass Business School (2003) aged just 18 years. Zachary spent a large part of his professional career trading European distressed and high-yield assets at Dresdner Kleinwort, Nomura International, TD Securities before co-founding the Private Equity franchise, TLG Capital, in 2009. Zachary's experience at TLG included investments in a pharmaceuticals plant in Uganda making anti-retroviral and anti-malarial drugs, a cancer centre in Ghana and a Cambodian company running cruises along the Mekong river. He has appeared as a guest host on CNBC several times between the years 2012-2015 including on the prestigious morning show, Squawk Box. When he is not working, he is an actor and playwright, with his works performed in the West End. He also enjoys rock climbing, having climbed in Spain, Turkey & Africa.
