Leadership Team

As CEO of RentPath, Ziglar will work to grow the business by delivering more value to property managers and consumers alike. Ziglar will help shepherd the integration of RentPath's rental listings onto Redfin.com, which will give RentPath's customers exposure to the tens of millions of consumers who visit Redfin.com each month, many of whom ultimately elect to rent instead of purchase a home. Working with RentPath's technology and product teams, Ziglar will also expand the company's product and service offerings to ensure RentPath remains the most cost-effective way for rental property owners to connect with serious tenants, fill occupancies, and manage properties.

Ziglar comes to RentPath from ParkMobile, where he has been CEO and a board director since 2015. Ziglar has significant experience driving corporate strategy, sales and technology innovation to deliver growth in rapidly evolving industries. During his tenure at ParkMobile, the business grew its customer base over 800% while expanding its products beyond on-street parking to include event and airport reservations, electric vehicle charging and toll payments. Ziglar's experience running a marketplace that connects millions of consumers with enterprise customers is particularly relevant to RentPath, whose core business is connecting people looking for long-term home rentals with property owners and managers looking for prospective tenants.

Ziglar has held executive roles at Ceridian, Elavon, and Raymond James, among other companies. He is currently on the board of advisors at Roadie Inc., and has previously served as a director and advisor on a number of corporate boards, including Payscape, Dayforce and Twitpay.
