Guy Ezekiel
Guy Ezekiel is the co-founder and CEO of Zorro, an AI-powered ICHRA benefits platform that helps employers replace one-size-fits-all group health plans with personalized, individual coverage. A 25-year healthcare operator turned venture investor, he spent much of his career building medical device and pharmaceutical companies before becoming a managing partner at Pitango, Israel's largest VC fund. He left investing to co-found Zorro in 2022 with Maya Perl, betting that Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements will do for health benefits what the 401(k) did for retirement. Zorro has raised $31.5 million to date, including a $20 million Series A in June 2025.

A former Bridgewater Associates partner and Oscar Health leader, Reber turned a quantitative investing playbook on the messiest market in America, building a business that helps employers cut benefits costs without changing plans or networks. In 2026 Garner raised $100 million in Series E funding at a reported $2.74 billion valuation.
