The Short Version

For 23 years, Wall Street was my life. I started as a young analyst at Citi, worked my way through Morgan Stanley, and built a career in finance and investment management. I learned how to move fast, manage risk, and make decisions when the stakes were high. It was demanding, lucrative, and consuming — and by 2017, I knew it was time for something different.

The pivot wasn’t obvious. I stepped into government technology leadership, a world that couldn’t have been more different from trading floors and quarterly earnings calls. But that’s exactly what drew me in. Government runs on technology that’s often decades behind, and the people who understand both the business side and the tech side are rare. I saw an opportunity to bring the urgency and rigor of Wall Street into a space that desperately needed it.

That journey eventually led me to found Marcman Solutions, where I serve as President and COO. We work at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and government — helping agencies modernize the way they operate and protect the systems people depend on.

Somewhere along the way, I started writing. Not because I had a content strategy or a brand to build, but because I kept having conversations — with colleagues, with clients, with friends — where I found myself explaining how AI actually works, or why cybersecurity matters to people who don’t think it affects them, or what digital transformation looks like when it’s done right instead of just talked about.

So I started putting those conversations on the page. My writing appears on Medium, Substack, and LinkedIn. I break down complex topics — artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, government technology, digital transformation — into practical insights that leaders and professionals can actually use. No jargon, no hype. Just what I’ve learned from decades in rooms where the decisions get made.

This site is where I collect it all. If you’re interested in AI, technology leadership, or what happens when business thinking meets government reality — pull up a chair.
