He formed CHCI after a 20-year, SES-level government career where he served in various Pentagon assignments and in multiple deployed assignments. As the Director of Naval Training and Education (N7) for the Chief of Naval Operations, Dr. Zeman was responsible for the plans, policies, budgets and directives for all military and civilian development, leading the world's largest professional development organization.

Prior to that, he worked for the Secretary of the Navy as the Director of Manpower and Training where he laid the foundation for the Navy's Revolution in Training, a systematic innovation in training design and delivery that led the Navy to new e-learning approaches, greater accountability and significant improvements in effectiveness and efficiency. In his director role, he pioneered executive mentoring programs and built career maps for all civilian and military employees in the Navy.

Dr. Zeman's last government assignment was as the Chief Economist for the Iraqi reconstruction effort in Baghdad. From 2004-2005 he led the Embassy's Office of Strategic Analyses (OSA) responsible for the Cabinet and congressional communication in regards to the reconstruction and development of Iraq. OSA reported directly to the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and assigned resource allocations for the Iraqi Relief and Reconstruction Fund, the $24 billion fund established for the post-invasion reconstruction efforts in Iraq. Dr. Zeman also served as the Senior Advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq.
After his assignment to Iraq, Dr. Zeman left government service but continued to work in the international development field. He served as the vice president of an international development firm supporting USAID.
