Join Me On This Intellectual Odyssey
Exploring AI, cybersecurity, government technology, and digital transformation through the lens of 25+ years in finance and public sector leadership. Real insights from real experience.
I spent 23 years on Wall Street at firms like Citi and Morgan Stanley before moving into government technology and public sector leadership. Now, as President and COO of Marcman Solutions, I write about what I’ve learned at the intersection of finance, technology, and government.
Through my writing on Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn, I share what I’ve learned about leading organizations through technological change, managing complex deals, and delivering results in both the private and public sectors.
What I Write About
I write about the intersection of technology, leadership, and real-world business operations — breaking down complex topics into practical insights.

Exploring how autonomous AI agents are reshaping business operations, from intelligent automation to decision-making systems that adapt and evolve in real time.

Strengthening digital defenses through AI-powered security systems that detect and respond to evolving threats, protecting organizations in an increasingly connected world.

Analyzing how federal and state governments are leveraging technology to improve efficiency, from DOGE initiatives to digital transformation of public services and emergency management.

Exploring the intersection of blockchain technology and public sector adoption, from digital currencies to decentralized systems that are transforming how we think about trust and transparency.
I believe technology should serve people, not the other way around. Through my writing on Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn, I break down complex topics and share practical insights from decades of hands-on experience in finance, government, and business.
