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.
