While working at a small sales intelligence firm in Las Vegas, Henry saw an opportunity to leverage technology to unlock opportunity for go-to-market teams. In 2007, he started DiscoverOrg from his law school dorm. Brick by brick, he scaled DiscoverOrg, leading the company through 11 acquisitions (including of Zoom Information, from which the business takes its name). Thirteen years after founding the company, ZoomInfo became the first tech company to go public during the Covid-19 pandemic. Henry shares why he believes in the American dream, what it was like to take a company public in a fully remote environment, and why the practice of gratitude journaling makes him a better founder.
