ZLH Enterprises

What ZLH Enterprises does

ZLH Enterprises is a privately held, woman-owned technology consultancy founded by Zina Hassel in 2000 and headquartered in Manalapan, New Jersey, with regional offices in Manhattan and Parkland, Florida. The firm operates as a carrier- and vendor-agnostic intermediary between clients and hundreds of technology service providers, delivering white-glove concierge advisory across four core service categories: Connectivity Services (Wi-Fi, satellite, VPNs, dark fiber, Ethernet), Cloud as a Service (UCaaS, CCaaS, BaaS, DRaaS, IaaS), Data Center Services (colocation, geo-diversity planning, AI/ML integration, migration planning), and Technology Management (bill auditing, RFP management, compliance assessments, mobility and desktop support).

The underlying technology stack is not proprietary; ZLH is a services and brokerage firm, not a software developer. Its value chain is principal-led expertise backed by carrier relationships, advanced design tools, and engineering support teams that augment client IT staff. Notable technical positioning includes AI/Machine Learning integration within data center offerings and direct procurement capabilities across major US carriers, evidenced by tiered participation in the Verizon Partner Rising Star (2024) and Select Sub-Agent (2025) programs.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: professional-services consulting fees and affiliate/referral commissions earned when clients are provisioned through ZLH-facilitated carrier relationships. The firm employs 1–10 people, serves both SMB and Enterprise clients (with named references in multifamily property management and international e-commerce), and operates internationally with claimed reach across Europe, the Middle-East, and the Caribbean. The company is entirely founder-owned, has no external funding, and holds a New Jersey WBE certification that supports supplier-diversity procurement channels.
