November/December 2017 – BizVoice/Indiana Chamber

55

McCorkle is pleased that there is still a team

on the north side of Indianapolis utilizing the

software.

“I do take some comfort and some pride

in starting a company in the dot-com bubble

and have it still be around,” he admits. “The

company still has many of its first customers

using the product, which is kind of cool.”

Mezzia was about a year ahead of

ExactTarget in raising money and being part

of the early central Indiana tech community.

McCorkle came to know ExactTarget

co-founders Scott Dorsey and Chris Baggott.

When Mezzia sold in 2005, “I couldn’t wait

to join them. I was about employee No. 80.”

He believes the company was at about

$10 million in revenue. The product line, at

$350 million at the time of the Salesforce

acquisition, is now worth over a billion

dollars – one of maybe 10 SaaS products to

reach that threshold.

Like Webber, Dorsey sees that special

mix of abilities in McCorkle.

“I’d start with his innovation and vision.

Scott is a really unique technology executive

because he understands the technical side and

the business side – with a focus on the

customer,” Dorsey reflects. “In time, he

for being named the 2017 Indiana Vision 2025

Dynamic Leader of the Year!
