Holly Zappa

Holly sets the company’s strategic direction, leading cross-functional teams to ensure every engagement delivers adaptable, future-proof solutions built to succeed in each client’s unique environment. She leads with a philosophy rooted in collaboration, curiosity and long-term partnership.

Holly played a leading role in forming HappyFunCorp’s consultancy model, which embeds specialists across the full product lifecycle, from design and architecture to launch and modernization. Her focus on efficiency, proactive solutions and engineering excellence across a variety of client environments has positioned the company as a trusted partner to both startups and Fortune 500 companies across all industries, including retail, fintech, healthcare and media. 

Having joined 2012, Holly quickly became a trusted partner and strategist to the founders. Over the years, she evolved into a key architect of the company’s operations and client services model that continues to fuel the long-term partnerships today. As co-CEO, she guided HappyFunCorp through its 2023 acquisition by Tiny, unlocking new opportunities for innovation and scale. 

Before life in tech, Holly worked in complex litigation, managing over 60 clients connected to the 9/11 World Trade Center Litigation. This experience honed her ability to navigate high-stakes challenges, lead with empathy and balance analytical precision with human understanding.

Beyond the “office,” she supports causes such as iMentor, which helps students navigate college and career pathways. She loves discovering exhibits in New York City that seamlessly blend art and technology and enjoys running and walking in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park near where she lives.
