Zotti’s strategic oversight and visionary direction have transformed OFA into one of the state’s most impactful organizations in the disability services sector.
Zotti’s influence extends beyond OFA; he was appointed to California’s Master Plan on Developmental Services by the California Secretary of Health and Human Services, a testament to his commitment to improving services and resources for adults with disabilities. Additionally, he has been named a San Diego Business Journal Mentor of the Year, CEO of the Year finalist, and LGBTQ+ Person of Influence.

Social Impact and Community Involvement
Beyond his role at OFA, Zotti serves the San Diego community in numerous ways. He sits on the board of San Diego Pride, where he chairs the Audit Committee, and he is a valued contributor to the research advisory council at Harvard Business Review. His leadership in these roles underscores his commitment to fostering inclusivity and supporting causes that promote equity, diversity, and community empowerment.
Inspiration in Leadership
Brian Zotti’s focus on building a supportive and values-driven organizational culture has made a lasting impact on Options For All’s internal community. “Putting people first is essential,” says Zotti. “When people feel valued, everything else falls into place.” This philosophy aligns with OFA’s core values and commitment to creating a workplace where team members feel empowered to achieve their best.
Justen Stevens, Employee Experience Manager at Options For All, echoes Zotti’s message of a values-driven culture, stating, “Culture is not the weather; it doesn’t just happen. Every team member plays a part in making it something special.”
