Linda Ziglar joined the CFP Board in 2011 when she retired as Vice President of Finance at the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI)
and Executive Director of the American Frozen Food Foundation. She became CFP’s Chairman in 2015.

Prior to joining AFFI, Linda founded and operated the consulting firm LKL Consultants for 25 years. In this capacity, she provided a variety of services to a client list that included Fortune 100 companies, non-profit organizations and law firms of all sizes.

With the advent of the personal computer, the focus of her consulting switched to PC based business applications and systems – designing, installing, and maintaining local and wide area networks for the legal and educational sectors. She also provided statistical and numerical analysis services for legal defense groups involved in complex class action lawsuits and expert witness testimony with respect to the methodologies used. In addition, she provided entrepreneurial advice for small technology firms seeking government contracts.

Before starting her own business, Linda worked for the Institute for Defense Analysis, writing scientific computer programs and analyzing and developing investment and support cost methodologies for the military. Linda graduated summa cum laude from the George Washington University with a degree in mathematics and has served on the boards of many non-profit and community organizations.
