PICA Corporation announced that Zach Scott, former Franklin County Sheriff from 2011-2017, has joined PICA as a Board Director and Principal of the 34-year-old security consulting and risk management company founded in Ohio in 1982.  Zach will focus on the development of the Ohio market and management of Ohio-based clients for which PICA is currently working overseas in corporate security, business resilience, and intelligence.  Zach will be managing PICA enterprise risk, cyber and information security and international trade and supply chain and distribution channel integrity programs and investigations.  He will also be key in the development and supervision of security plans and operations for Ohio’s new medical marijuana industry. 

Zach’s career in law enforcement began with the FCSO in 1985, where he worked undercover, SWAT, Homicide and Community Programs, among other assignments.  He has been awarded a Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart.  Zach subsequently ran the largest Sheriff’s Office in the State of Ohio with 1200 employees and a budget of $125 million.  He has a degree in Business Administration and attended the John Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Vincent Volpi, PICA’s founding partner, said, “Zach and I both came from law enforcement, but I took a different path into private security while Zach made a distinguished career of public service.  We have worked together since the early 90’s and become very close friends.  Having Zach on our team continues our partnership to serve and protect our clients”.

I am thrilled to join PICA, especially given the exciting new initiatives we are launching in Ohio,” said Zach Scott, principal, PICA. “I look forward to this next phase of my career, expanding the scope of my experience in Ohio and the international security sector.”
