Alongside Akkhiel Nambbiar and Mostafa Vakilli, Zaid co-manages the record label and production company called "Produktivity". Produktvity are a creative collective of musical artists, fashion designers, and filmmakers based globally in London, Bristol, Illinois, and Dubai.

Zaid serves as founder and President of the University of Bristol's newly formed Bristol Collaborative Arts society, a communal space for Bristol-based filmmakers and actors to collaborate and get their work exposed to key industry figures who in turn offer guidance on what it means to pursue a creative career as well as career opportunities.

Alongside fellow filmmakers, Zaid has established the production company "Black Marble". Post-production on the company's first short film is currently underway and will be submitted to the international film festival circuit once completed.

Zaid has founded and currently manages the events brand titled "Spaceinebetween"; whose purpose is to highlight local musical artists and fashion brands within the MENA region.
