Executive Summary

Zach Jones is Chief Executive Officer of TechnologyAdvice, a Nashville company that helps technology vendors reach business buyers through more than 40 digital media brands, over 50 newsletters and a range of demand generation and marketing services. He was appointed in July 2026 after 13 years with the company, which he joined as an intern, and took over from founder Rob Bellenfant, who stayed on as Chief Strategy Officer. His appointment is a bet on a commercial leader: the company credits him with helping turn a lead generation business into a global media, data and marketing services company, and he takes over as AI reshapes how technology buyers find and evaluate products.

Professional Journey

Jones began at TechnologyAdvice as an intern, writing content, before finding that his strength lay in business development. He moved into account management and then into building a team. By late 2021 he was VP of Sales and Client Success, responsible for about 70 people making up the company’s entire global revenue organisation, and describing revenue as an equation: once it is worked out, the job is moving the needle one way or the other.

Over his 13 years at the company, TechnologyAdvice changed shape. It started as a lead generation business and became a media, data and marketing services company. Today it reaches more than 100 million B2B professionals through 40-plus digital media brands, 50-plus newsletters and more than 100 social channels, and works with over 1,000 brands. The company credits Jones with a key role in the acquisitions and international expansion behind that change, and in the enterprise customer relationships and customer success strategies that supported it.

On 8 July 2026 the company announced him as Chief Executive Officer, with responsibility for its global business and long-term growth strategy. Founder Rob Bellenfant remains involved as Chief Strategy Officer, concentrating on product innovation and further mergers and acquisitions. Bellenfant said Jones had earned the trust of customers, teams and partners by consistently turning market opportunities into durable growth. Jones framed the job around AI’s effect on B2B technology discovery. As AI changes how buyers find solutions and how vendors reach them, he argued, a company with trusted brands, audience data and customer relationships is positioned to help vendors adapt. The company pointed to growth across the U.S. and EMEA in 2026 in newsletter sponsorships, creator-led content, virtual events and AI search discoverability, alongside investment in TractionAI, its intent-to-lead platform. The appointment came with a wider build-out of the commercial leadership team, including new revenue leadership and a managing director for APAC.
