About Zachry Godfrey
Building Businesses That Matter. Developing Leaders Who Last. Creating Impact That Endures.
For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of building companies, leading high-performing teams, and helping organizations unlock their next season of growth. My journey has taken me across fintech, embedded finance, SaaS, hospitality, sports, entertainment, and emerging technologies—but my greatest passion has always remained the same: helping people reach their God-given potential.
Today, I serve as CEO & Co-Founder of Lumino, where we’re building the future of Global Conscious Commerce. This movement believes business can create both economic growth and meaningful human impact.
Whether I’m leading a company, speaking on stage, mentoring entrepreneurs, or hosting Talks with Big Z™: The Global Impact Show, my mission is simple:
Build people. Build purpose. Build a legacy that outlives us all.
Purpose Before Profit. People Before Process.
The companies that endure are built on trust, vision, and service. Throughout my career, I’ve believed that leadership is stewardship—not position. Every organization I’ve helped build has been guided by the conviction that success is measured not only by revenue, but by the lives transformed along the way.
Scaling Innovation Through Strategic Growth
As CEO & Co-Founder of Lumino, I’m helping shape a new era where payments, technology, loyalty, and impact work together to create something greater than transactions. Our vision of Global Conscious Commerce empowers businesses to grow while creating measurable good for customers, communities, and causes around the world.
A Life of Service
Beyond business, I’m passionate about investing in leaders, strengthening communities, and inspiring people to pursue lives of purpose. Whether speaking to entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 executives, students, nonprofits, or faith communities, my goal is always the same: help people discover that their greatest influence comes through serving others.
I believe our legacy isn’t determined by what we accumulate; it’s determined by what we build in people.
“I don’t want to be remembered simply for building successful companies. I want to be remembered for helping people believe they could build a life of purpose, significance, and lasting impact.”
