Zeeshan Zaidi is a builder, strategist, and creative leader with a 25-year track record across media, technology, and entrepreneurship. He’s led global businesses at the intersection of culture and commerce — from running Mergers and Acquisitions for Bertelsmann / BMG, to running digital departments of Arista, RCA and Sony music, to scaling Ticketmaster’s artist and touring division, to co-founding Fevo, to serving as COO of LimeWire and Selectable Media. He’s advised startups, raised capital, closed M&A deals, and built platforms that have reached millions.
Zeeshan’s work spans product, growth, marketing, deal making, and leadership — but just as importantly, it reflects a long commitment to resilience and reinvention. He writes about entrepreneurship, business, systems, and what it means to lead during times of transition.
Educated at Harvard College, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Business School, Zeeshan is also a musician, father, and lifelong learner — equally at home in a boardroom or a recording studio. This site is a space for essays, frameworks, and reflections on work, culture, and growth.
