Louis Ziskin is not your average CEO. He’s the founder and president of West Hollywood-based DropIn Inc., a company that is changing the way the insurance and automotive industries do business by providing on-demand remote video inspection.
DropIn’s technology can be accessed via an app or, like a scene from a futuristic sci-fi movie, it can be paired with video-equipped drones that can remotely inspect and evaluate the damage to residences and commercial buildings.
Louis has had an entrepreneurial spirit his entire life. From his early beginnings when he launched a global supply chain venture, Louis cultivated an international network of suppliers delivering product to a demanding and complex market.
While lucrative, this business model resulted in some unanticipated consequences… a 12-year prison stay.
Louis, now a philanthropist who speaks nationally about causes like anti-recidivism and addiction recovery, was convicted in 2001 for the largest-ever U.S. government seizure of the drug commonly known as Ecstasy.
Released from the U.S. Penitentiary in Lompoc, California in 2011, as well as driving the DropIn business forwards at a relentless pace, he now devotes his time to the Backpacks for Kids Foundation and is a frequent public speaker in support of anti-recidivism.
