BOSTON and AMSTERDAM and SYDNEY, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zone & Co, the leading provider of ERP-native software solutions for the CFO’s office, today shares the extension of its executive team with two seasoned tech-leaders: Chad Wonderling as Chief Financial Officer and Jessica Garrett as Chief Marketing Officer.

Both Wonderling and Garret bring close to two decades of experience in their respective domains at high-growth technology organizations, accelerating Zone’s ability to capitalize on its global momentum and drive industry leading innovations for managing back-office operations at scale.

Wonderling joins Zone with a history of leadership roles at pre- and post-IPO high-growth companies, most recently from Salesloft where he served as its Chief Accounting Officer. Garrett is an award-winning technology-marketing leader, who brings deep experience building out and leading revenue-driving global marketing organizations for both high-growth scale-ups and enterprise-level brands.

“We’re thrilled to have Jessica & Chad on board to help drive our next phase of growth and accelerate our ability to help transform back-office operations,” said Thomas Kim, CEO at Zone and Co. “Their track record in helping tech companies scale profitably while investing in a strong and open team culture will be immensely valuable in continuing to evolve our organization and to increase the visibility of and engagement with our platform globally.”

Prior to Zone, Wonderling spent five and a half years at Salesloft where he contributed to its exponential revenue increase, the Series D and E funding rounds, and a majority stake investment by Vista Equity Partners at a valuation of $2.3 billion. As Vice President & Corporate Controller at Rubicon Technologies, he was responsible for the company’s financial operations, financial reporting, treasury, and corporate development and acquisition integration, while influencing global expansion and growth. He also served as Corporate Controller & Head of Finance at the publicly traded company Ceres Global Ag (TSX:CRP) where he helped lead the revenue growth from approximately sub-$30 million to nearly $500 million.

“I’ve been fortunate to be part of several rapidly growing companies in my career, and the finance function can play a pivotal role in an organization,” said Wonderling, who is also a former customer of Zone. “Having purchased and used Zone’s solutions, I’ve realized the power they can provide firsthand. I look forward to being part of Zone’s growth story, and helping our customers’ finance, HR, and operations teams play an instrumental role in driving their growth.”

Garrett, who most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer at Cloud Academy, is a strategic and growth-oriented tech-marketing leader known for her ability to build high-performing, customer-focused, and data-driven marketing teams. During her 26 years of experience in driving growth and transformation across global tech organizations, she has repeatedly helped propel companies from $50M$300M revenue growth, break into new markets with best-in-class CAC:LTV ratios, stand up new enterprise-class GTM motions for deep market penetration, and launch award-winning brand strategies.

“I am thrilled to join this visionary team at such a pivotal moment,” shares Garrett. “Our company’s trajectory is unmistakable, and I am eager to leverage our unique value proposition to captivate audiences and drive dominating growth. Zone’s commitment to transform the finance, HR and operations functions in an end-to-end way and ability to push the boundaries of out-of-the-box ERP software with such a strong and relevant portfolio, has resulted in impressive momentum that I’m excited to help capitalize on. We’ve only scratched the surface of its market potential and I look forward to helping unlock marketing-led growth.”

The addition of Wonderling and Garrett comes less than a year following the appointment of Thomas Kim as Chief Executive Officer in April of 2023. Under Kim’s leadership, the company experienced nearly 50% growth in 2023, welcomed over 1,500 new customers across Europe, Australia and North America all while expanding its partner-ecosystem and driving towards its overall platform strategy.

Zone also enhanced its portfolio with a new Payroll solution, introduced self-service implementation for its AP automation solution to reduce time-to-value with 50%, and is continuing to roll-out industry leading AI-capabilities across products, working towards a 99% decrease in manual data entry in key finance workflows.

Information on EQT AB’s financial reporting

The EQT AB Group has a long-term business model founded on a promise to its fund investors to invest capital, drive value creation and create consistent attractive returns over a 5 to 10-year horizon. The Group’s financial model is primarily affected by the size of its fee-generating assets under management, the performance of the EQT funds and its ability to recruit and retain top talent.

The Group operates in a market driven by long-term trends and thus believes quarterly financial statements are less relevant for investors. However, in order to provide the market with relevant and suitable information about the Group’s development, EQT publishes quarterly announcements with key operating numbers that are relevant for the business performance (taking Nasdaq’s guidance note for preparing interim management statements into consideration). In addition, a half-year report and a year-end report including financial statements and further information relevant for investors is published. Finally, EQT also publishes an annual report including sustainability reporting.
