Stephanie Harris, CEO and Owner of PartnerCentric
"I cannot imagine being a part of a better organization and look forward to continuing our growth and evolution as PartnerCentric.”
NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) June 05, 2017
Stephanie Harris, the first employee hired at Schaaf-PartnerCentric over a decade ago has acquired the company. Schaaf-PartnerCentric will now be known as PartnerCentric, Inc. effective immediately. The acquisition marks a natural evolution for one of the largest and most reputable Outsourced Program Management agencies in the space and now has the added distinction of being a Woman-Owned Business. PartnerCentric has over 35 employees working remotely all over the US and is home to some of the most seasoned account managers in the industry with an average of 10 years experience.
Stephanie Harris met Brook and Forrest Schaaf in 2006 while being interviewed by them at a bar in New Jersey. They had recently founded Schaaf Consulting, Inc. and needed to hire an experienced account manager. Once hired, Harris managed clients that are still with the company today and successfully held every role on her rise to CEO in 2015.
Harris says, “I have lived and breathed this company since its beginnings almost 11 years ago. This company has meant so much to me and has formed so much of my life, as much as I have formed it. I cannot imagine being a part of a better organization and look forward to continuing our growth and evolution as PartnerCentric.”
In her tenure as CEO, Harris has ensured that employees are connected and supported and has enacted policies, such as all expenses paid company retreats, that have helped the company maintain alignment and pride in the organization. Additionally, she has been instrumental in signing several Fortune 500 clients and implementing comprehensive service offerings for influencer and content relationships. After a year of record growth, she is excited to see what the future holds for PartnerCentric.
Brook and Forrest Schaaf feel that this is a natural progression for the company and is well-deserved for Harris. Forrest Schaaf says, “Stephanie has been the backbone of the business from day one. She has been the unofficial third partner and we have always trusted her at every level over the years. She has over-delivered every step of the way.”
Brook Schaaf is also excited to have Harris at the helm and states, “Stephanie has skillfully handled the running of the business over the past two years and I believe she’ll continue to inspire excellence in the future. I wish her, this superb team, our clients, and other partners the very best."
PartnerCentric’s longtime client, InTheSwim, is thrilled that Harris is taking ownership. Director of Marketing and Creative Services, Erin Bayer stated, “I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie and the PartnerCentric team for over 10 years. They have managed our affiliate program for several brands and have grown each program from startup to strong, mature programs. Their expertise is second-to-none whether it be day-to-day program management, technology innovation or out of the box thinking. I look forward to seeing what Stephanie and team have in store for the years to come.”
Today PartnerCentric also launches its new brand and website in order to better reflect its core values and position itself for future plans, which include continued international expansion and investment in proprietary technologies. “PartnerCentric is a testament to what we believe for ourselves and our partners. We build meaningful relationships and understand that every good relationship requires trust, dedication and support from all sides,” says Harris.
