About Zach Perret

Zach Perret is CEO of Plaid, which helps other fintechs connect to customers' bank accounts so the customers can make deposits and payments.

Perret and his cofounder William Hockey met as junior Bain consultants before founding Plaid in 2012.

Plaid's customers include Robinhood, Coinbase and Venmo.

Visa called off a $5.3 billion deal to buy Plaid in early 2021 after the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit aiming to block the acquisition.

Perret graduated from Duke University and previously served on the board of trustees.
