Plank has served with Park Place Technologies for almost eight years. In her current role, she leads the Inside Channel Sales Team that focuses on creating and nurturing critical relationships with partners and focuses on strategic sales tactics that help continually develop the channel program. She was named to the 2021 CRN Rising Female Stars List.

“This is an unexpected honor,” Plank said. “The women on this list are simply phenomenal. Their contributions to the industry are amazing and it’s exciting to be numbered among them.”

As Director of Partner Sales, Jean is dedicated to creating and building key relationships with top clients and growth partners.
