• Zack Klima is the Founder & CEO of WaitTime.
• Zack founded WaitTime in 2013—well before “AI” was a buzzword and long before crowd intelligence was a defined category. Today, WaitTime stands as one of the original pioneers and global leaders in patented, ethical, fully anonymous computer-vision for crowd and queue management, powering real-time insights for the world’s most complex, high-volume environments.
• A defining pillar of Zack’s work has been the deliberate creation of a global, channel-first sales motion, built hand-in-hand with Intel. Together, they architected a scalable go-to-market model centered on Intel-optimized, CPU-only deployments—designed specifically to empower resellers, integrators, and distributors worldwide. This approach removed friction from deployment, simplified procurement, and enabled WaitTime to scale across regions, verticals, and use cases through trusted channel partners rather than direct-only sales.
• Over the past decade, Zack has expanded this ecosystem to include leading technology and distribution partners across infrastructure, security, and edge computing—allowing WaitTime to be sold, deployed, and supported globally through a repeatable, partner-driven model. As a result, WaitTime’s technology is trusted in iconic stadiums, arenas, airports, convention centers, and retail environments where scale, accuracy, and operational integrity matter most. No gimmicks. No surveillance theater. Just proven results at volume.
• With a background in architecture and design thinking, Zack brings a systems-level mindset to both technology and go-to-market strategy—obsessing over flow, scale, and how humans actually experience space. He is driven by building durable companies, enabling partners to win, and creating simple solutions for complex problems that earn trust. Still early. Still pushing. Still playing chess, not checkers.

• I was an architectural designer on the 7.1 Eastside Lightrail extension on the Eastside of Los Angeles ($800+ Million Project). I worked on design, design modifications, specifications, material submission and testing, purchase order organization, construction documents, and on-site field testing & measuring. I saved URS $250K by recognizing a duplicate purchase order, and earned a formal recommendation for my find.
