ABOUT ZACH RIVERA

Sales and service pro with a knack for turning big ideas into seamless execution. I’ve built a career in the sports, entertainment, and tech industries—where energy, adaptability, and relationship-building are everything. Whether I’m managing a high-volume outbound campaign or organizing a Pokémon TCG League to build team culture, I bring structure, creativity, and a results-driven mindset to the table.I cut my teeth selling for a startup professional football league, learned how to hustle, build pipelines from scratch, and close with confidence. Since then, I’ve expanded into client service, event planning, operations, and internal programs that drive engagement and results.I thrive in fast-paced environments where ownership matters. I’m organized, curious, and never afraid to ask how something can be done better—and then make it happen. If you\'re looking for someone who can talk metrics and logistics one minute, then come up with a punny fantasy football team name the next, we’ll probably get along.
