Zach Weismann is an at-large member of the NBME Board of Directors. He is the CEO and founder of MAG Impact Collective, founded in 2018. MAG brings together experts in areas of branding, strategy, and design to serve clients in a more effective and efficient way in their pursuit of greater positive social impact. To date, the Collective has worked with clients around the world and has 30 members across the country.
Zach’s dedication to areas of social impact stem from his background working with NGOS, Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, and start-ups on key issues such as conservation, sustainability, capacity building, and innovation. He has had the pleasure to work with organizations such as the NBA, Google, IKEA, MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern, and Virgin Unite on awareness campaigns, change management projects, and social initiatives around the world.
Zach has worked alongside numerous leaders in the healthcare space to advocate on behalf of patients, caregivers, and families across the country. He worked with UT Southwestern and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to launch the first ever pancreatic cancer multidisciplinary clinic. He has served on the National Board of Medical Examiners and the Public Stakeholders committee for the past 4 years.
In 2014, Zach unfortunately lost his mom, of whom he was extremely close with, to pancreatic cancer. It was this experience that has led him to devote time, energy, and his experience to the healthcare space. Through this work, he hopes that no family has to go through what his family did, and continuing to help bridge the gap between sustainability, health, and social impact.
Zach received his Bachelor’s in Economics from Claremont McKenna College, and his Master’s in Accounting & Finance from the University of Texas (Austin).
He currently resides in Dallas, Texas with his wife and 2-year-old son, Howie.
