YACG Cleveland at Saucy Brew Works

With over 20 years of experience in finance, entrepreneurship, and real estate, I am a driven and visionary leader who thrives on finding and seizing opportunities, exceeding expectations, and achieving excellence in everything I do. I have a passion for creating and growing businesses that benefit my partners, employees, and communities, and a track record of delivering above-market returns across multiple sectors and markets.

As the CEO and Co-founder of Saucy Brew Works, I have raised over $10 million in equity and grown the brand from zero to over $15 million in revenue and 230+ employees in less than six years. I have also expanded our distribution footprint and physical brewery/pub locations across Ohio and beyond, leveraging my financial, marketing, and operational skills. In addition, I have been involved in developing over $200 million in commercial real estate projects through my company Brent Zimmerman Development, LLC, and I am the Co-founder and CEO of JJCBUS LLC, a successful Jimmy John's franchisee with 10 stores and over 150 employees in Columbus, Ohio. I am always looking for intelligent ways to diversify and scale my enterprises, and to create value and opportunities for all stakeholders.
