Zan Lano

Vice President

Zan started at LPA in February 2014 on the sales team. In 2017 he moved over to project management, serving as LPA's sole Project Manager until 2022. Zan and Mike purchased LPA in December of 2022 and now he does all manner of things. His first real assignment came about a month into his tenure in: call an upset customer and listen. Of course it's not our goal to have upset customers, but that was a great experience utilizing a foundational skill necessary in this business, or any business: how to listen intently. It's a skill that we endeavor to instill in everyone who works at LPA. How can we support anyone if we don't understand their goals and problems? We strive to learn as much about our customers as they learn about our solutions.
