Zak Hemraj is the Co-founder and CEO of Loopio, a Toronto-based software company that
helps organizations streamline their process for answering RFPs, DDQs, and Security
Questionnaires. Before Loopio, he spent 8 years at Achievers where he learned the
fundamentals of software development and sales, and helped scale the company to serve
millions of users across the world.

Zak took the entrepreneurial plunge in 2014. He co-founded Loopio with his closest friends, Matt

Since Loopio’s inception, Zak's focus areas have spanned product, customer success, sales,
finance, and all things culture. He is a people-focused leader that loves building things,
regardless of the domain.
