Through Mezrah Consulting’s long-term growth and success, the firm has developed a national consulting practice for enterprise, privately held, and publicly traded companies, including financial institutions. Under Todd’s direction, the company has developed a bank practice servicing a variety of financial institutions in creating and evaluating BOLI portfolios, sharing new ideas for capturing yield and providing executive benefits consulting and expertise. In 2018, he cofounded a company called BOLI Rescue that focuses on enhancing legacy BOLI portfolios by creating liquidity and improving yields without immediate tax costs or penalties.

Todd Mezrah Headshot

Todd initially pursued a career in Los Angeles with the Management Compensation Group as a financial analyst and with Executive Compensation Solutions as a Senior Consultant. He has authored several articles on executive compensation in various publications and, as a frequent speaker, has presented lectures on tax, legal, and accounting implications of executive compensation and benefit plans to several trade and professional organizations.

In 1993, Todd formed Mezrah Consulting, with Austin-based Lion Street Financial, a highly selective, invite-only group, which acted as broker/dealer. Lion Street has since been acquired by Integrity Wealth, a leading independent distributor of tech-driven life and health insurance products, adding even more options for his clients.

Todd was also the cofounder and CEO of Drawloop Technologies, a technology company that was the first to develop an enterprise cloud-based solution for automating document deliverables. Many Fortune 500 companies use this technology today. In 2015, Drawloop became part of Nintex, a leader in business automation and one of the largest cloud-based workflow companies in the world. Nintex Drawloop is currently owned by the private equity firm Thoma Bravo.

In 2019, Todd launched another SaaS technology company focused on the nonqualified plans administration space with the creation of mapbenefits. He also created the newly well-received MSO Deferral Plan™ strategy, a deferred compensation solution for S Corp and C Corp majority shareholders seeking to defer income. mapbenefits is built on the Salesforce.com infrastructure and is the only cloud-based enterprise solution for deferred compensation plan administration—and it is 409A compliant.

Todd is also cofounder of AZ Capital Partners, a private investment company, and is on the Advisory Board of IP Capital Partners, a private equity real estate firm.

Todd Mezrah is a graduate of the University of Alabama where he obtained a B.A. in Corporate Finance and Investment Management. He later earned his MBA with an emphasis on employee benefits from Georgia State University in Atlanta.

Todd’s involvement in the community is best exemplified by his participation in The Jewish Federation, Jewish National Fund, Florida Holocaust Museum, Make a Wish, American Heart Association, and the Glazer Children’s Museum by way of the Todd and Shari Mezrah Charitable Fund. His industry involvement is best exemplified by his role and participation in AALU’s nonqualified plans committee in Washington, D.C.
