Robert Zakari Email and Phone Number
I have spent over 25 years as an Executive or General Counsel building, leading, and running economically thriving enterprises. In my various leadership roles I’ve identified the right decisions that balance the best interest of the shareholders while ensuring success for the business overall. The answer is not always "No" but rather, "How can we make this happen?". I specialize in the day-to-day legal and business operations of companies. On the legal side I have extensive experience with corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, intellectual property, finance, and employment matters. In business operations, I've managed business development, human resources, manufacturing and distribution, real estate, day to day vendor and partner agreements, financial transactions including capital raises through investments. I love learning from and working with leaders who are passionate about what they do.
