Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), a cloud-based marketing technology company that empowers enterprises to acquire, grow, and retain customers more efficiently, today announced the following leadership appointments to build upon its enterprise sales team. Each leader will oversee key areas of customer marketing investment within the Zeta Marketing Platform:

Jed Hartman has been appointed as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of Activations, leading enterprise sales strategy for omnichannel customer acquisition powered by the Zeta Marketing Platform.

Kelly Kennedy has been promoted to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of CRM, leading enterprise sales strategy for customer retention and lifetime value growth powered by the Zeta Marketing Platform.

“Today’s leadership announcement reflects the caliber of world-class executives we are attracting at Zeta, as well as our growing sales team with an aim to continue predictable growth,” said David A. Steinberg, Zeta Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “Jed’s demonstrated record of success, deep industry connections, and history of innovation in tandem with Kelly’s momentum delivering new customers, retention, and steady net expansion of existing customers will have significant impact on our growth in 2022 and beyond.”

With over 25 years of experience at the helm of data, technology, and marketing, Mr. Hartman has been a transformative leader at some of the industry’s most iconic companies, such as Time, Fortune, CNNMoney.com, The Washington Post, and Channel Factory.

Mr. Hartman’s new role is part of Zeta’s long-term strategy to grow its sales team quality and capacity.
