Top SchoolSteven Zaharakis is a veteran technology executive and product leader with over 20 years of experience building startups and enterprise software across financial services, manufacturing, analytics, and optimization. As CEO and Senior Product Manager at zLabs he architects data-driven, process-reengineering solutions—from FINRA/SEC-compliant multi-market trading back-ends to SaaS tools for school counseling and secure license management—that have scaled to Global 500 clients. He pairs hands-on engineering chops (full-stack, AI, AWS, security) with a designer’s eye for usability and manufacturability, evidenced by award-winning consumer products and B2B hardware initiatives. Earlier roles as SVP/CTO and director-level engineering lead delivered mission-critical financial planning platforms used by Fortune 100 firms and drove teams through growth and funding milestones. An active contributor to open-source security tooling, he’s added kernel privilege-escalation checks and usability improvements to a popular Linux exploit auditing project, reflecting a rare mix of product strategy and low-level security expertise. Based in New York, he combines entrepreneurial grit with academic depth in computer and electrical engineering.
