Harrison Gevirtz

Founder and CEO of Ringba

Dennis first met Harrison fourteen years ago, when Harrison was a 16-year-old already famous in their circle for putting all his expenses on a Black Card. That first night in Los Angeles, Harrison bought Dennis a steak dinner on his father’s Amex. Dennis has wanted to honor Harrison for a long time because almost everything he knows about relationships in this business, he learned next to him.

Harrison is the founder and CEO of Ringba, a call-tracking platform built specifically for lead-generation teams. When Harrison first started Ringba, many in the industry were skeptical, asking, “Calls? Nobody picks up. Nobody calls.” However, the pay-per-call space continued to grow and evolve. People had been buying leads for decades, but Harrison recognized that a warm, hot lead on the phone was a different kind of engagement than a static lead. He set the highest standards for himself and his team, helping to define how businesses could pay for actual conversations rather than just ad views or clicks.

Dennis considers Harrison the most whip-smart digital marketer he has ever met. In their early days, Harrison could type on a Blackberry held behind his back twice as fast as Dennis could on a laptop. He was the person who taught Dennis how affiliate networks actually work. Over the years, Dennis has spoken with Harrison at SMX, PubCon, and Affiliate Summit for more than a decade. Their connection includes moments of genuine fun, such as Harrison shooting Dennis with a money gun—a device that shoots out paper currency or confetti—during a discussion about pay-per-call software and business growth.
