Zachary Graeve is an independent public company director, investor, and capital markets advisor with more than two decades of experience across investor relations, governance, and corporate communications. IRC-credentialed and grounded in SEC disclosure standards, he has advised executives and boards through IPOs, uplistings, and other capital-markets events, with a focus on market credibility, governance discipline, and long-term value creation. He currently serves as Head of Investor Relations at QumulusAI.

His perspective is shaped by work on both sides of the table — as an advisor and director, and as an investor applying a value-oriented discipline. He tends to engage where companies sit at inflection points rather than steady states: approaching the public markets, working through a transition, or aligning governance and investor expectations as they grow. Earlier in his career, he founded and sold a technology company, and was separately a founding shareholder in a successful IPO.

Zachary serves as an independent director and committee chair, and as Vice Chair of the National Investor Relations Institute's Examination Development Committee, contributing to professional standards in investor relations, disclosure, and governance. He writes and speaks on markets, leadership, and the art of being understood — including the monthly letter On Message / Off Record — and works with executives and boards through ZSG Advisors on investor engagement, capital markets strategy, and governance.
