Built for how organizations actually grow.
ZIA works with growing organizations at the point where talent, leadership, and responsibility need to evolve; bringing clarity to how work gets done and who owns it.
We practice what we support.
ZIA operates as a modern, distributed organization with team members across nine countries.
We know firsthand what it takes to build trust, clarity, and accountability across time zones, cultures, and roles because this is how our own organization operates.
That lived experience informs how we place talent and support growing teams.
Who ZIA is built for.
ZIA works best with organizations that:
- Are beyond the early “do everything ourselves” stage
- Need full-time, dedicated ownership not fractional
- Value cultural alignment and trust
- Want talent and leadership structures that can scale
We are not built for transactional staffing or short-term fixes.

Growth changes the conditions people work within.
What works early on - tight teams, shared responsibility, leaders doing a little of everything - doesn’t always hold as organizations grow.
As scope expands:
- Decisions multiply
- Roles become less clear
- The cost of misalignment increases
At this stage, leadership stops being about individual capability and becomes about the conditions people work within.
- How authority is experienced
- How roles are understood
- How stress shapes behavior
- How decisions are made under pressure
ZIA exists to help organizations navigate this transition when work needs clearer ownership, leaders need space to focus, and teams need structures that can scale.
This perspective isn’t theoretical by any means; its applied science. It’s grounded in how modern organizations actually operate, and it informs how we place talent, support teams, and develop leaders.
How we approach talent
Leadership development, grounded in real work.
ZIAversity is ZIA’s leadership education platform, led by Jonathan.
Through live cohorts and supporting content, ZIAversity focuses on the psychological dynamics that shape behavior at work—authority, roles, stress, and decision-making.
It is designed for leaders responsible for people and outcomes, not entry-level training or quick fixes.
Talent matters most when responsibility increases.
ZIA places full-time, dedicated virtual talent into clearly defined roles across a range of responsibilities—from operational support to leadership. We focus on:
- Cultural alignment and trust
- Matching skill and scope to real needs
- Supporting inclusive, high-trust team environments
- Long-term fit, not short-term coverage
Our talent is accountable to client leadership and placed to take real responsibility inside the work; not operate on the edges.
