This week on The Exit: Scott had the elusive unicorn exit when he sold Workfront to Adobe for $1.5 billion. From teaching seminary, his career took a dramatic turn when he fell into marketing, before teaching himself to code in the very early days of the internet. He soon found himself frustrated with the administration of marketing, so Scott created Workfront, a project management software. Listen to find out how the business grew, eventually being acquired by Adobe in a 3 week negotiation.

Scott Johnson founded Workfront, which is now Adobe Workfront after the acquisition from Adobe for $1.5 billion. Adobe Workfront is the leader in enterprise work. What it provides to companies is a single system to support planning, collaboration, and governance to unlock organizational productivity and create exceptional experiences. Scott is now focused on his current company Motivosity.
