About

Hi, I’m Marcio Arnecke, the CMO at Apollo. I joined Apollo in March 2025 to help scale Apollo’s GTM presence with purpose. Apollo now supports over 3 million users, generates $150M+ in ARR, and serves 500,000+ companies from PLG startups to enterprise-level GTM teams. In 2025, the biggest challenge faced by modern go-to-market teams includes operationalizing activity and turning it into a predictable and repeatable pipeline. Many teams rely on scattered tools, disconnected workflows, and misaligned signals, which cost them time, money, and attention. Apollo solves this by unifying targeting, engagement, attribution, and automation in one platform. It generates leads and connects them to revenue with real data, faster handoffs, and closed-loop feedback. If you’re a go-to-market leader looking to turn marketing activity into a dependable pipeline and align with your revenue team, Apollo is built for you.
