Our Leadership Team
The iZone Corp team is built from professionals who have dedicated their careers to the practical side of compliance. We’ve managed the programs, trained the staff, and prepared the audits. We founded iZone to provide the clear, actionable guidance we saw was missing—the kind we wished we’d had access to in our previous roles.
Our collective experience stems from years of working within and alongside public sector organizations. We’ve helped municipalities develop new training curricula in times of change and partnered with school districts to build Language Access Plans that work on the ground. This hands-on, practical background ensures our solutions are not just theoretically sound, but proven in practice.
