Paper Leaf, along with our parent company ZGM, are thrilled to officially announce the promotion of Mackenzie Almquist-Murray to the role of Managing Director of Paper Leaf. Almquist-Murray brings a fresh global mindset and people-first leadership style to the helm of the award-winning software development company, specializing in web and mobile app development.
With a background rooted in operations, systems thinking, and team development, Almquist-Murray brings a wealth of experience from her time as Director of Operations at a global product design agency serving fintech and B2B SaaS clients. Her teams spanned four continents, and her work supported some of the startup world’s most exciting heavy-hitters.
“Believing in people is foundational to how I lead,” said Almquist-Murray, who has overseen teams for more than a decade. “I love seeing potential in someone, giving them the tools to grow, and watching that growth take off. The Paper Leaf team is full of incredibly competent experts – from strategy and project management to design and development. It’s a gift to continue to support and empower them as we move forward.”
Known for her analytical approach and knack for numbers, Almquist-Murray champions clarity and efficiency as much as she does her teams.
“Mackenzie lives at the intersection of spreadsheets and people,” said Mario Amantea, chief financial officer and partner of ZGM. “She has the unique ability to zoom out and see the full business picture while also being deeply invested in the development of every individual on her team.”
Almquist-Murray has led the Paper Leaf team as acting Managing Director since November, setting up a smooth and seamless transition into the permanent role. Clients will continue to experience the same high calibre of delivery that Paper Leaf has shown since 2009.
