MissionFocus, LLC
Make it happen, move it forwardMark Andrew Eick is an ardent technology maven and thoughtful business pathfinder dedicated to composing scientific innovation into practical solutions that deliver real capability to the Intelligence Community (IC) and the Nation. With degrees in philosophy ad computer science, Mr. Eick started his career at Ford Motor Company in 1995, quickly ascending to “bad-ass coder” and ultimately taking authority and responsibility for the company’s entire content management system.
Driven by a desire to lead his own company, Mr. Eick leveraged his experience at Ford to create and grow a startup focused on bringing new visualization techniques to bear on stultifying problems in geo-spatial client-server applications in the IC domain. The recipient of multiple technology and patent awards, Mr. Eick then started a new company called MissionFocus. As MissionFocus CEO, Mr. Eick now orchestrates technology and operations at a much larger scale to develop mission focused applications for today’s warfighter.
Intersected within the micro-community of intelligence technologists often deployed yonder (the “TDY-set”), Mr. Eick’s experience and Dr. Suzanne Yoakum-Stover’s vision joined to form the Institute for Modern Intelligence in the Spring of 2009. As IMI co-founder, President, and CEO, Mr. Eick brings his technology insight and operational experience to bear on the challenges of intelligence at Ultra-Large Scale while balancing the institution’s zeal with stabilizing business acumen. Together he and Dr. Yoakum-Stover work tirelessly to develop the science, practice, and governance of Modern Intelligence.
