Zeke Christopolous
Ezekiel Christopoulos, affectionately known as “Zeke,” has thirty years of experience spanning operations, corporate finance, nonprofit management, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. In 2001, Zeke founded Tranzmission, an Asheville-based nonprofit serving the Southeast’s nonbinary and transgender community through education, advocacy, and support programs, with fierce anti-racist, social justice, and for-us-by-us tenets at the heart of the organization. Zeke’s lived experience as a Middle Eastern, Jewish, queer, and transgender person has informed his passion for social justice. His work has spanned local, state, and national efforts, focusing on historically underserved and underfunded communities in the southeast. Zeke enjoys being in beloved community, traveling, biking, hiking, growing vegetables, and having culinary experiences with his spouse, Caroline, and their child, Cosima.
