How do you lead an AI-first team without burning mountains of cash or your people?

To help us out, we've recruited Henry Schuck, founder and CEO of Zoom Info.

Henry turned a scrappy contact data startup into a 3,500-person go-to-market intelligence machine powered by its own generative AI co-pilot.

We'll break down the cultural shifts, the data hygiene, and the hard metrics that prove the tech is really working.

They're doing some great things over there, and I really think you'll be fascinated with it.

But first, before we dig in, Grant, what would you say it means to be AI first?

As opposed to it being like, you know, the little deer antlers around Christmas you see on the side of a car.

And it assumes this is as good as AI will ever be.

It assumes that, oh, this is great.

This is what it is.

It doesn't assume that that little bolt-on is going to be...

irrelevant in three Thursdays because that happens.

Exactly.

And I don't think there are many people more equipped to talk about going from being a traditional company to an AI-first company that's seeing huge results than Henry Shucks.

So let's scoot on over to Henry here and let him talk to us about it.

So what does it take to steer a 3,500-person company into the age of generative AI?

ZoomInfo founder and CEO Henry Shuck joins us today to unpack the company's journey from data powerhouse to AI-first GTM platform, the cultural shifts that enabled it, and the hard-won lessons any leader can borrow.

Henry, it's exciting to have you on.

How are you today?

Absolutely.
