Based out of Los Angeles, Zach Walker is VP of Strategic Partnerships for Shotgun, a live music ticketing platform. With over 15 years of experience in the music industry, his journey started with Atlantic Records where he helped build marketing campaigns for their urban division during the ‘blog era’. While attending Indiana University, he founded IMF Magazine in 2008, a media outlet focused around music, fashion, and art, growing it to a quarter-million unique daily global visitors. By 2017, he took his passion for music and tech and joined ToneDen, as the Director of Business Development. For close to three years, he helped venues, festivals and promoters across the US increase revenue and maximize their marketing returns leading up to an acquisition from Eventbrite. In 2021, he joined DICE as Head of Nightlife Partnerships and helped expand their US market share through partnerships with live event powerhouses Framework, All Day I Dream, and Paradise. When Zach’s focus isn’t on music or tech, you can find him on the tennis court, snowboarding the rockies, or embracing his nerdy, PC-gaming side.
