Founders of Marketo
About Phil Fernandez, Jon Miller, and Dave Morin
In 2006, as enterprise sales teams drowned in unqualified leads and marketing departments struggled to prove ROI, three former Epiphany executives, Phil Fernandez, Jon Miller, and Dave Morin, built Marketo not as another email blast tool, but as a revenue operations engine. They embedded attribution modeling directly into campaign workflows, insisted on SQL-level data transparency for marketers, and treated lead scoring as a collaborative science between sales and marketing, not a black box. Their 2012 IPO wasn’t just a financial milestone; it validated the idea that marketing could be quantified, optimized, and held accountable for pipeline velocity. Unlike competitors who sold siloed automation, they architected integrations with Salesforce from day one, forcing CRM and marketing stacks to speak the same language. When Adobe acquired Marketo in 2018 for $4.75B, it wasn’t buying software, it was acquiring the foundational logic that redefined how growth teams measure influence across the buyer’s journey.
