Jason Hersey

Background

With a career spanning both frontline hospitality operations and commercial account management, I bring a unique end-to-end perspective to the foodservice and packaging industries. I began my career in the restaurant and hospitality sector, where I gained hands-on experience leading teams, delivering exceptional customer service, and managing high-pressure operations. This operational grounding gave me a deep understanding of what operators need: speed, consistency, and practical solutions. That insight continues to shape how I approach product development, client service, and long-term partnerships.

Since moving into sales, I’ve held several commercial roles across foodservice and hygiene before joining Zeus Packaging, a leader in sustainable and bespoke packaging solutions. As a National Account Manager, I oversee complex supply chains, coordinate national rollouts, and drive innovation across disposable packaging categories. From launching custom NPD ranges to streamlining core lines, I work closely with clients and internal teams to deliver scalable, commercially sound solutions. Whether supporting a fast-growing restaurant group or a major QSR brand, I focus on building lasting partnerships grounded in transparency, responsiveness, and deep industry knowledge.

With 33 years of service, I’ve seen packaging evolve in many ways, and I’ve been hands-on through it all working in both Industrial and Food Retail Packaging. 

I make sure our internal packaging solutions are efficient, practical, and up to standard. Whether it's solving problems or helping the team navigate new processes, I'm always up for the challenge. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me talking (or arguing!) about football, or watching a match.
