Managing Director
If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.
As Managing Director of Prelude Venture Fund, Mercato’s early-stage practice, Zach Sivertson brings deep operational and technical experience to his role. Immediately prior to joining the fund, Zach was a product executive at Symantec, the world’s largest cybersecurity company. During his tenure, he oversaw product management, pricing, and strategy for a $1B+ cybersecurity portfolio that was deployed in over 85% of the Fortune Global 2000. He also led key product launches, including that of multiple 1.0 products that now contribute over $110M in annual bookings. Before Symantec, Zach held product positions at Blue Coat Systems—sold to Symantec for $4.6B, WorkFront, and Aplifi—sold to iPipeline. He has also lectured on cybersecurity at Ensign College.
Zach earned his B.S. in Information Systems from the University of Utah and an M.B.A. from Westminster’s Gore School of Business. In his role as a Managing Director at Prelude, he sits the boards of alphaMountain.ai, Evo Security, and GloveBox, and is investing in B2B technology and cybersecurity startups.
