Beth E. Zonis
Principal and Founder
Overview
Eco Marketing was founded to bring together Ms Zonis'
sales, marketing and business development expertise, and
her passion for the environment. With over 25 years of
experience selling and marketing both engineering and
high tech solutions, she has put several startups on the
map – helping to grow one company from 10 to 1000
employees in 5 years.
Under her direction at IBM (where she worked for 10 years), the global market for IBM’s green data center and energy efficiency services for mid-sized businesses grew by over 125% in one year. Plus, an unprecedented 70% of clients of IBM’s Scalable Modular Data Center, an energy efficient solution, became references!

She holds a certificate in Sustainable Business from the University of Southern Maine.
Fluent in French and Spanish, she also speaks some Mandarin Chinese.
