Past Experience and Qualifications
Zach’s professional path started in 2011, when he joined the Israel Defense Forces as an Instructional Designer at Education Corps and, since 2013, as a Senior Instructional Designer & eLearning Team Leader. During that time, he leveraged his content creation skills and passion for technology to design front-end sessions, tutorials, and hands-on simulations, managing the complete development cycle from needs assessment through to delivery.
Between 2014 and 2016, Zack deepened his training expertise while working in Sales and Pre-sales Enablement at Verint. In the freshly established cybersecurity education domain, he led internal training and created self-paced learning for customers.
In 2016, Zack joined Checkmarx as the Sales & Partner Enablement Lead and grew into the Senior Director of Partner Marketing and Field Marketing Manager. There, he began by establishing the company-wide training and learning infrastructure, focusing on creating an enablement environment for sales teams. Then, he became the Marketing Manager, managing partner marketing efforts across the EU, LATAM, APAC, and ANZ regions. As a special achievement at this point, he managed and produced the Checkmarx Company kickoff in Thailand, overseeing content, production, budget, and employee experience.
Author’s Experience
Since 2021, Zack has been responsible for global partnerships at Checkmarx: first as Global Channel and Alliance Marketing Director, and after 2023, as Senior Director for Global Partnerships and Regional Marketing. His scope of responsibilities included establishing and building the Tech Partner Marketing department from the ground up, aligning the Sales, Marketing, and Channel teams as one pipeline, and leading global Account-Based Marketing (ABM) programs at scale.
While joining ControlMonkey in 2025, Zack brought his expertise in global security projects, content strategy, technical messaging, and go-to-market alignment.
