Zachary W. Lezberg is a nationally recognized entrepreneur and one of the leading voices for small business growth in America. A lifelong business innovator, Zach launched his first venture — a DJ company — at just 11 years old and has been building and scaling businesses ever since.
A proud graduate of the University of Miami, where he earned degrees in Film Producing, Theatre Producing & Management & Business Management, Zach quickly established himself as a creative force.

Today, Small Business Expo engages over 1.2 million entrepreneurs and small business owners every year through live events, online education, and a robust digital community. Zach’s mission is to give entrepreneurs everything they need — education, strategy, networking, and resources — all in one place so they can grow faster and smarter.
Beyond the Expo, Zach has built a suite of platforms designed to help entrepreneurs succeed:
● Small Business University – Daily webinars offering expert insights and training
● Shmooze – A powerful online networking platform for small business owners
● The Best of Small Business Awards – Honoring visionaries and innovators each year
Widely regarded as a trusted authority on entrepreneurship, Zach is a sought-after speaker, media contributor, event producer and thought leader. His work empowers entrepreneurs from the “wantrepreneur” just starting out to seasoned business owners & CEOs scaling for growth — making him one of the most influential champions for small business in the Country.
