Steve Marzocco
Non-Executive Advisor

Steve Marzocco is a seasoned technology executive, delivering on C-suite and board roles, entrepreneur, and venture strategist; with over four decades of experience building, scaling, and turning around companies across IT, telecom and secured broadband. He utilized segment-defining AI in decision-support applications, early e-commerce, pioneering digital health, Fintech, and Medtech. He has successfully completed over a dozen corporate turnarounds and launched several industry firsts, several of which serve as high-value case studies in strategic and operational management. 

Steve also predicted on record the failures of multiple high-profile leaders, including “Wall Street darlings,” such as shortly after SoftBank made a headline-making $500 million investment into one company and another following a famous tech billionaire’s investment in a BusinessWeek cover story feature company. His volunteer efforts include his due diligence expertise being highlighted as the strongest indicator among forty seasoned venture capitalists and deal professionals evaluating a diverse range of 172 companies. 

Additionally, Steve co-led an initiative impacting national policy, affecting certain national security concerns, which succeeded where others failed. This effort involved top figures from the White House, Congress, influential trade groups, and leaders such as the Founder of VISA. 

One of the spinouts Steve led, which included the CEO recruitment while directing the repositioning of a Medtech platform parent entity into a spinout strategy, was voted “Most Valuable” by Keiretsu Northwest and Rockies members.

Specialties and Impact

• Total corporate strategy, architecture, and execution
• Vision, mission, and organizational alignment
• Negotiation, partnership development, and deal closure
• High‑performance team building and leadership
• Turnaround leadership (12+ completed, including two considered “effectively radioactive”)
• Launching and scaling technology leaders across IT, telecom/broadband, Internet, and e‑commerce

Steve has played foundational roles in launching several first‑of‑their‑kind ventures, including an e‑commerce pioneer, the first nationwide secure broadband provider, and the world’s first online health checkup and corporate wellness platform. His turnaround work includes a notable case involving a Paul Allen–backed enterprise once featured on the cover of BusinessWeek—a situation that became a master‑class‑worthy study in investor relations, governance risk, and the consequences of inheriting a public shell from an SEC‑blacklisted “Bad Actor.”

Across all of these experiences, Steve’s career reflects a consistent through‑line: the ability to see what’s coming, architect what’s needed, and execute what others consider impossible.
