Zeta Global Honors Co-founder and Visionary Board Member,
John Sculley, on His Retirement

Former Apple CEO played a pivotal role in Zeta’s 17-year evolution; becomes Vice Chairman Emeritus

NEW YORK—June 9, 2025— Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI marketing cloud, today announced the retirement of John Sculley, Co-founder, Vice Chairman, and Board member, effective immediately. Mr. Sculley’s retirement marks the culmination of a remarkable 17-year journey, helping shape Zeta into one of the most innovative companies at the intersection of marketing and technology. Mr. Sculley shared his decision to retire at the Board meeting following today’s annual meeting of stockholders.

While Mr. Sculley is stepping down from the Board, he will remain a respected member of the Zeta community as Vice Chairman Emeritus, where he will continue to be a trusted advisor to David A. Steinberg and the company’s leadership team.

“Helping launch and shape Zeta over the past 17 years alongside David Steinberg has been a thrill and one of the greatest honors of my career,” said John Sculley. “What began as a bold idea has grown into a company with global reach, real impact, and big ambitions. I’m proud of the foundation we’ve built and confident in where the Zeta team is headed next. As Vice Chairman Emeritus, I look forward to staying connected and cheering them on.”

“John has been more than a co-founder and board member – he’s been a true partner and a source of enduring inspiration,” said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta Global. “His belief in thinking bigger, along with his pattern recognition and principled leadership, have helped shape Zeta from day one. We’re deeply grateful for his contributions and proud to have him remain part of the Zeta family as Vice Chairman Emeritus.”

Zeta has not announced any plans to replace Mr. Sculley’s position on its Board of Directors.
