Marcus is a technologist, investor, and advisor passionate about driving change through technology. This love affair started when he was taught to program in elementary school at the tender age of eight.

Since then, he has built a global reputation as a talented executive who drives transformation at scale and enjoys solving difficult problems in innovative ways, whether they be complex business challenges or life-changing social issues. He has spent half his career working for leading technology companies building world-class technology (Apple, Google, and IBM) and the other half helping iconic brands harness the power of technology to drive business value, including Comic Relief, Marks and Spencer, National Geographic, and T-Mobile. Uniquely, this means that he has been on both sides of the digital disruption equation—organizations that are creating innovation, such as Google with its pioneering AI, and those that are being disrupted by the change that it brings, like National Geographic.
