MoneyMinding® is an inspirational financial education system that goes beyond traditional savings and investment advice to encourage possibilities without “cutting back”. It provides education and success training for both clients who find themselves unsure of where to get the results they need for the lifestyle they desire, and for the financial advisors and other money professionals who work with them. MoneyMinding empowers people to ask better questions to get the answers they need. 

Zig brings to MoneyMinding Inc. many years of executive experience and in particular a track record of successful company growth in both the consulting and high technology sectors in Canada, the US and globally.  Due to the growth of MoneyMinding, Zig will take over the operational duties so Tracy Piercy, a Certified Financial Planner by profession, can focus on business and product development with clients and advisors.

In 2006 Zig was named CEO of the year by the Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Centre, and in addition to his executive roles, has taught MBA courses in management consulting, strategic management, international business, marketing, and entrepreneurship at the University of Ottawa, the University of Victoria, and Royal Roads University. He specializes in strategic planning, leadership, training and development, and change management strategies for companies and governments thereby bringing a unique blend of business and educational experience to the financial industry and the clients that MoneyMinding serves. 

Zig holds a PhD in Business Administration with a specialization in Strategic Planning and Leadership from Capella University in Minneapolis and a Master of Business Administration degree from the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University in Montreal. He is also a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), and a Certified General Accountant (CGA). He is a graduate of Coach U and Corporate Coach U and will be developing a MoneyMinding Coach program for Certified MoneyMinding Advisors to extend the value and distribution of the MoneyMinding lifestyle financial training.
