WELCOME

My name's Jack Z. Sherman, with the "Z" representing "zyylk", my nickname I got in showbiz years ago.

Born in Western Europe, I now have the privilege of calling the beautiful Turks & Caicos Islands (BWI) in the Caribbean my home base, for over a decade already.

As I'm traveling most of the year, I think I'm kind of a «digital nomad» and I feel at home all across the globe, from Zürich to Dubai to Los Angeles to São Paulo to Singapore.
My friends claim the best place to catch me at is an airline lounge, just like on the photo here.

Therefore, if a job calls for somebody flexible who goes there and gets things done, let me know!

Over 100 airports you could've run into me so far:

EXPERIENCE

My entrepreneurial spirit already showed at the young age of 16 (while still attending school) with developing a computer program I sold to a major European bank.

Further entrepreneurial milestones include:
(1) a European advertising agency with offices in Rome (Italy) and Munich (Germany),
(2) a transatlantic management consultancy headquartered in Chicago (USA) with offices in Rome and Munich,
(3) a crossmedia agency headquartered in Houston (USA) with offices in São Paulo (Brazil) and Zurich (Switzerland).
