New York, May 15, 2025 – Zone & Co, the ERP-native financial operations platform that unifies financial workflows to scale growth, proudly announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Jackie Hertz, Director, Alliances & Private Equity, on the prestigious Women of the Channel list for 2025.
This annual CRN list celebrates women from vendors, distributors, solution providers and other channel-focused organizations who make a positive difference in the IT ecosystem. The CRN 2025 Women of the Channel honorees are innovative and strategic leaders committed to advancing channel excellence and supporting the success of their partners and customers.
With nearly a decade of experience across finance, technology and global business development, Hertz brings a cross-disciplinary lens to partner engagement. Since joining Zone in 2022, she has focused on helping private equity firms and their portfolio companies drive meaningful finance transformations, particularly around modernizing order-to-cash operations, eliminating manual workarounds and improving visibility across systems. Leading Zone’s private equity and alliances function, she deepens collaboration with operating partners, helping them navigate complex finance technology decisions and align ERP-native automation to real-world portfolio needs.
“Jackie is one of the most trusted voices we have in the partner ecosystem,” said Steven Bachert, Chief Revenue Officer at Zone & Co. “This recognition is well deserved. She brings sharp business instincts, builds deep relationships and has become a go-to partner for operating teams tackling order-to-cash transformation. Her work has been instrumental in helping finance teams modernize core processes across diverse portfolio needs.”
Her background includes leading international strategy at Reebok, driving private equity development for a contract management platform and leveraging her CPA in finance and accounting roles across both public and private sectors. This unique blend gives her a rare ability to connect dots across growth-stage finance, enterprise scale and operational execution, making her a trusted advisor to partners navigating complex ERP and finance stack decisions.
“I’ve spent my career working at the intersection of finance and operations,” said Jackie Hertz, Director, Alliances & Private Equity at Zone & Co. “Helping portfolio companies simplify their tech stack, get real-time visibility and free their finance teams from manual processes is incredibly rewarding. I’m especially grateful to our partners who trust us to support this work, their collaboration is what makes meaningful transformation possible.”
