“Our board meetings feel like strategy sessions now, not reporting drills.”
- Hernan Marino, CEO, Aper
The Customer
Aper is a leading technology company in the financial ecosystem. Like many scaling organizations, Aper holds regular board and leadership meetings to align on strategy and progress.
Industry: Finance Technology
The Problem
Board prep had become a major time sink for the CEO and Chief of Staff. Fragmented updates, endless slide revisions, and last-minute edits created stress and inefficiencies. Worse, it was unclear whether internal teams were aligned — and board materials weren’t always getting read.
The Solution
Aper adopted Zeck to streamline their board prep process, improve internal collaboration, and deliver polished, mobile-friendly pre-reads to their board. Zeck helped consolidate inputs across teams, reduce prep time, and elevate the overall quality of communications.
The Benefits
Zeck brought structure, clarity, and time savings to Aper’s board and leadership meetings. Teams now collaborate in one place, board members are more engaged, and the company has extended Zeck to investor updates and internal leadership meetings for even broader impact.
Better Meetings, Not Just Faster Prep
Zeck didn’t just save Aper time — it transformed the nature of their meetings.
“Our board meetings feel like strategy sessions now, not reporting drills,” Hernan shared.
With the prep work streamlined and the materials easier to digest, the team shows up ready to engage, not just listen. Everyone’s more aligned before the meeting even begins.
With less time spent on logistics and more on meaningful conversations, leadership can focus on what really matters: making smarter decisions, tackling the big questions, and moving the company forward. Zeck isn’t just a tool — it’s a shift in how modern leadership teams operate.
The Comms Team’s Secret Weapon
It’s not just the CEO who’s all in on Zeck — Aper’s Head of Comms has become a full-blown super-user. What used to be a scramble to gather updates from multiple teams is now a streamlined, centralized process. “She no longer has to chase people down,” Hernan noted. With everything in one place and a clear structure, the communications team can focus on crafting a compelling story instead of managing chaos.
I didn’t expect Zeck to have such a big impact on our internal alignment. We collaborate more effectively now — and our board actually reads the pre-read.

Super Smooth Adoption
Rolling out new software usually comes with a learning curve, but Zeck was the exception. Hernan described the adoption process as seamless — the platform was intuitive, quick to learn, and immediately useful. What also stood out was the Zeck team’s hands-on support. “It didn’t feel like just another tool,” he shared — and that’s largely because Zeck’s team was there at every step, making the onboarding experience feel more like a partnership than a typical software rollout.
Raising the Bar
What started as a board meeting solution has now become a company-wide communications upgrade. Aper now uses Zeck for leadership meetings and investor updates too. “It’s helped raise the bar on all of our critical communications, not just board-level,” said Hernan. From AI-generated charts to mobile-friendly design, Zeck makes it easy to produce updates people actually want to read.
