Bill Zysblat

Co-founder, RZO

“If you have to be an ant,” quips Bill Zysblat, the 65-year-old founding partner of RZO, “you want to be me.”

The low-key Manhattan resident and father of three has been involved with the business affairs of The Rolling Stones since 1975 and launched RZO (Rascoff Zysblat Organization) with partner Joe Rascoff in 1987. Today, the New York-based RZO has 35 employees handling the business dealings, from the finances of global touring to tax planning, of about 30 clients, including the Stones, U2, Sting, Shania Twain, David Byrne, Joe Jackson and Luis Miguel, along with the estates of John Lennon and David Bowie.
