“I had the pleasure of working with Ian Harris over a four-year period at ZoomInfo including his role as the Marketing PMO lead at ZoomInfo. During our time together, Ian demonstrated a unique ability to lead and coordinate all Marketing work streams and programs.

One of Ian’s standout achievements was his ability to coordinate stakeholders on significant acquisitions like Chorus, RingLead, and product launches like MarketingOS, OpsOS, and TalentOS. He was able to drive efficient delivery with high-quality quarter-upon-quarter campaigns, which was a testament to his leadership skills. Ian also up-leveled and built a trusted PMO team of project managers and scrum masters, who had a deep care for the quality of work and brand governance across the entire company.

Throughout his tenure, Ian developed a reputation for being a great coordinator and translator between Marketing and GTM teams, which allowed for seamless collaboration and communication between departments.”

“Ian brought a project management flair to our design needs that were lacking... Ian introduced a creative review process for ALL creative, refined the requests process, improved transparency of the creative pipeline, and even proved out efficiency metrics of his methods.”

“Ian is an extremely capable marketing leader who not only knows how to drive creative and operations teams within marketing but has a whole Go-To-Market acumen that makes him a critical member of cross-department launches or major process changes.

I had the pleasure of working with Ian from 2020 through 2022. He was the go-to for scoping and driving complex marketing efforts like Zoominfo’s acquisition of Everstring, Chorus, Ringlead, and multiple major product launches.

He built an impressive PMO centered around a deep care for the quality of work and a laudable adherence to process. He led the team with care for people and encouraged them to grow and learn beyond marketing, making them great coordinators between Marketing and GTM teams.”

“Ian was my manager at ZoomInfo and was a great leader, manager, and colleague. Laser-focused and collaborative, he is always thinking a few steps ahead of the entire team. He played a significant role in various critical projects as we grew into an enterprise-level company. e.g. migration to JIRA, building PMO from the ground up, getting leadership buy-in(s) on initiatives, and ensuring all work was done on time and of the highest standards.

At the leadership level, Ian demonstrated great empathy with team members and was very approachable, communicative, and inclusive. He played a crucial role in our company’s transition to Agile. He educated the entire marketing dept (including C-Suite) on its benefits and methods, gaining acceptance, adoption, and eventual expansion making us leaner and self-reliant. Ian established a cultural legacy of best practices, consistency, and collaboration at ZoomInfo that will live long after he departs.”

“It didn’t take long, when first interacting with Ian, to realize what a great manager he was and how organized and responsive his team worked under his guidance. His attention to detail, reliable follow-up and ability to keep us all on track was truly impressive.

I completely enjoyed our work together on the Marketing team’s Asana-to-Jira migration process. That was, without a doubt, the most organized and well-run migration process that I’ve ever had the pleasure to be involved with and that was largely due to Ian’s leadership and organizational skills. Having such detailed requirements, laid out for each of several sub-teams, made my job (as Jira Admin) a breeze to implement.

Not only is Ian a great manager, he is also very personable and a pleasure to work with.”

“I highly recommend Ian. He was amazing to have on our team at Hacker where he managed an extremely busy studio of creatives. Not only was he able to create effective ways to address crazy schedules, deadlines and data, he did it all while consistently bringing a ton of positive energy to the group and to the firm. His savvy in problem solving and his understanding of people and creative process was especially appreciated.”
