Hear from our team

"Zest AI helps people who look like me have access to credit. That was a really big differentiator for me. It’s hard to find a company that helps our clients grow and helps the communities that need it the most."

Eliya Lee

Sales

“Zest AI has a really amazing culture, especially for being a remote worker. A lot of times, a company’s culture doesn’t carry through to remote employees, but here it comes top-down from leadership. People care so much about each other and about the work. It’s just a really amazing place with amazing people.”

Kathryn Gustafson

Client Engagement

“I’m grateful to work alongside incredible talent building innovative technology that solves real challenges for lenders. Some of our best ideas start as a question in a team conversation. People are encouraged to speak up, try things, and build on each other’s thinking, always pushing to find better ways to make an impact on our customers and the people they serve.”
