Zach Wemple

As the GOJO Chief Human Resources Officer, Zach Wemple leads all aspects of people and culture-related strategy, planning, and support for the organization. Zach believes that a strong culture, collaborative teams, and passionate team members are essential to maximizing our collective impact as an organization. Starting in April 2019, he witnessed all three during the once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, where GOJO was an essential business, working 24/7 to deliver its products out into the world. To him, GOJO was successful in achieving 140 Billion uses of PURELL® products in 2020 because of the unstoppable Team GOJO who are inspired by each other and energized by the impact they are making in the world, and the GOJO Purpose which provided a true north to help navigate the unprecedented times. Since that pivotal time, Team GOJO has continued to drive the organization forward to achieve both its near-term objectives and long-term vision.

Prior to joining GOJO, Zach worked with Evoqua Water Technologies as their Vice President of Human Resources, providing both HR & cultural leadership to their business segments and spearheading a transformation of the company’s global HR operations. In his 13 years with The Sherwin-Williams Company, he served in various roles of increasing leadership responsibility, including Vice President of Human Resources Process Improvement and Shared Services. With Deloitte Consulting, Zach served as a Human Capital Consultant.

Zach received his B.S. in Communications from Ohio University and his MBA from John Carroll University. He is a certified executive coach and project management professional. In the community, he serves on the Board of Directors for the Greater Akron Chamber of Commerce as well as the American Red Cross of the Greater Akron and Mahoning Valley. Born and raised in Ohio, Zach lives in Northeast Ohio with his wife and their two sons.
