John Zanni

John Zanni (born June 20, 1962) is an American technology executive and entrepreneur best known for founding Easy Reserve Study, an AI-powered platform for long-term capital and maintenance planning.

He is also the former President of Acronis SCS, a U.S. based cybersecurity company that provides secure data protection solutions for public sector organizations.

Prior to becoming Acronis SCS CEO, Zanni held various leadership and management positions at Acronis, Parallels, and Microsoft.

Early life and education Zanni was born in Santa Monica, California. Before entering the technology industry, he spent 13 years working in his family's French restaurant Le Rendezvous, in Newbury Park, California, one of the early modern wine bars in Southern California.

He earned a B.S. in physics from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). His early exposure to technology—including self-teaching Excel and writing a custom backup system for the restaurant—helped him transition into the tech sector.

He stepped down from Acronis SCS in 2025 following the acquisition, choosing to launch his own venture in AI-enabled planning systems.

Easy Reserve Study (EZRS) (2025–present)

Zanni founded Easy Reserve Study (EZRS) in August 2025 after identifying inefficiencies in the reserve study and long-term infrastructure planning sector.

Drawing on experience from Acronis SCS, he applied two primary lessons to EZRS:

How to build and scale a startup, including vision, strategy, execution, budgeting, and team development. How to build secure cloud services that meet stringent U.S. government security and data privacy standards.

The company anticipates a public launch in Q3 2026.
