ZoomInfo started in 2007 as DiscoverOrg. Founders Henry Schuck and Kirk Brown put $25,000 on their credit cards while Schuck was still in law school, and they set out to compile accurate org charts and contact details for sales teams. With backing from TA Associates, The Carlyle Group and Great Hill Partners, DiscoverOrg acquired Zoom Information, Inc. in February 2019 and adopted its name. ZoomInfo went public on Nasdaq on June 4, 2020, the first major tech IPO of the COVID-19 period. A series of acquisitions followed, including Chorus.ai and RingLead in 2021. Revenue passed $1 billion in 2022 but has hovered around $1.2-1.25 billion since. In May 2025 the company changed its ticker from ZI to GTM, and it now pitches itself as an AI go-to-market platform. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, Washington.
ZoomInfo sells subscriptions, mostly annual or multi-year contracts priced by seats, data credits and product modules. Customers use the platform to find companies and contacts, enrich CRM records, track buyer intent and record sales calls (Chorus). Management splits the base into upmarket customers and down-market small businesses. As of June 30, 2026, 76% of annual contract value (ACV) came from upmarket customers and 1,891 customers paid $100,000 or more in ACV. Net revenue retention was 89% in Q2 2026. The data-as-a-service business, which delivers ZoomInfo data straight into customers' warehouses and systems, grew more than 20% in 2025 and made up nearly a fifth of ACV.

These officers report to the chief executive and are not part of the CEO timeline above.
Revenue is flat, and net revenue retention below 90% means existing customers are spending less overall. Small-business churn, lower-cost data rivals and AI tools that change how sales teams prospect all weigh on demand. ZoomInfo also faces privacy lawsuits over how it collects and sells personal data, plus investor litigation.
Co-founder Henry Schuck has served as Chief Executive Officer continuously since founding the predecessor company DiscoverOrg in 2007, guiding it to a public market valuation in the billions.
Schuck graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, worked at sales intelligence firm iProfile, and earned a Juris Doctor from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.

Schuck and co-founder Kirk Brown started with $25,000 on personal credit cards, achieving cash-flow profitability from month one and bootstrapping for seven years before accepting private equity.
Key longtime executives include Chief Financial Officer Cameron Hyzer, Chief Operating Officer Joseph Christopher, and Chief Technology Officer Ali Dasdan.
Schuck restructured customer onboarding to eliminate uncollected receivables, instituted stricter credit requirements, streamlined headcount, and spearheaded the ZoomInfo Copilot AI rollout.
Schuck was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year, featured on Fortune's 40 Under 40, and recognized by Glassdoor as one of the top-rated CEOs in enterprise software.
Schuck aims to make ZoomInfo the essential go-to-market operating system for every commercial enterprise, where AI automates prospecting, research, engagement, and deal closing.
