Zunail Meredia

I am a business-builder, dedicated mentor, and basketball aficionado.

I enjoy learning how everything works from end to end which is why I truly enjoy understanding businesses and coming up with ways to improve them. My ideal Friday night consists of cozying up on my couch with a 10-K to learn about a completely new business model and to imagine myself in the CEO's shoes .

For me, youth mentorship is the key to sustaining the impact that we have on the world today. I am serious about giving back to the community. If all goes well, I will have used my lifetime to make a significant positive impact on the way we live. I want the work and effort I put into the world to scale beyond my physical years on it. That means developing the next generation of people who will carry the torch.

While mentorship captures my hopes for the future, basketball represents the past that has made me who I am today. Basketball taught me my first major lessons in grit, teamwork, and leadership. My foundation from the sport drives how I tackle the business challenges I face today. I am absolutely addicted to the endless Stephen Curry memes right now...so there's also that.

I crave to make an impact on this world and want my epitaph to simply read: "He left the world in a better place."
