About our CEO & Founder

Steven Harrison is the President & CEO of Zero Link Markets, the company that operates Vinoshipper, an e-commerce and compliance platform for direct sales of alcohol products. The business facilitates small and medium-sized alcohol producers to sell and ship their products directly to consumers. He has more than 25 years working in finance and operations management and has been involved with several early-stage businesses, ranging from software companies to medical devices and consumer products.

As the co-founder of Zero Link Markets, Steven had the vision to create the Vinoshipper platform to help small businesses comply with the complex, multi-jurisdictional regulations and reporting requirements involved in selling wine, beer, and spirits.  

Sixteen years after it started in 2006, the platform is at the forefront of the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) movement, helping to transform and modernize the industry which dates to the Prohibition era. With more than 2,500 producer clients using the platform, Vinoshipper is one of the largest compliance businesses in the country. 

When he is not helping his team with the rigorous job of compliant sales and shipping, Steven spends most weeks talking with public officials about the policy nuances related to DTC and advocating for new laws that support the safe and legal shipment of alcoholic beverages.
