Harrington has financed more than 500 direct TV marketing product launches with sales totaling over $4 billion. 20 of those products reached individual sales of over $100 million. Harrington’s first company, Quantum International, merged into National Media in 1991 and grew to $500 million in annual sales with distribution in over 100 countries. Quantum became a case study in business that was taught at Harvard and MIT.
