Quotes
"Starting from zero to actually going public, it was kind of a sprint to get to that point, but the interesting thing is it's not like that's the endpoint; that's really the beginning of our relationship with the current investors that we have. So, it was kind of a sprint to get into the starting date gate of being public, and we continue to grow and build out more and more functionalities and capabilities."
"We're always focused on capital allocation and what we can do."
"The great thing about ZoomInfo is that we are fairly cash flow generative. We generate a fair amount of cash day after day, week after week. So, it's really a question of what's the best use of that cash as we go forward."
"We continue to look for great opportunities to build value for our customers and for our shareholders through acquisitions."
