Hi! I’m Brian Zou, a Computer Science student at NYU (Class of '25) and a software engineer with 9 years of experience developing software in everything from startups to Fortune 500 firms. Throughout the majority of my Computer Science journey, I thought I was going to be a software engineer at a big tech company. However, through my various ventures in leadership and management, I have come to learn how positive leadership and management can be the key to successful initiatives. I have been fortunate enough to serve as the Chief Technology Officer at two individual startups, a software engineer intern at a Fortune 500 financial firm, President of a non-profit organization, and a Vice President in the NYU Commuter Student Council. I am an advocate for positive social and societal change through technology. I hope to combine my technical background, leadership experience, and interest in social entrepreneurship to bring about the latest exciting headlines in social impact! In the future, I plan to spearhead social entrepreneurship initiatives and NGOs to bring about positive social change in topics like human rights, sustainable energy, and other important fields. I'm always open to connecting with new people, you can reach me at brianzou03@gmail.com!
