Mark Madigan

Mark Madigan is the Founder, President and CEO of IT Cadre. With 33 years of systems engineering, software development and executive management experience, Mark is responsible for developing and executing long term strategies as well as working directly with clients, his management team, and employees to meet customer goals and objectives through innovative solutions.

Mark served as an Army officer, managed systems engineering, software development and integration teams for IBM Federal Systems and served as an MCI Director of Technology for software application development, testing, and operations before establishing IT Cadre. His combination of technical skills and extensive management experience in large corporate environments gave him an understanding of complex customer problems and the difficulties in implementing sound, cost effective solutions.

Mark founded IT Cadre in 2001 on the idea that innovative engineering solutions come from teams of smart, inspired and hardworking people that are given the freedom and opportunity to challenge the conventional hit-or-miss approaches to solving customer problems. IT Cadre established a new engineering practice called Visualization Engineering® built upon sound engineering principles, deep technical skills, experience, and creativity. The engineers utilize a powerful set of processes and tools to bring clarity and direction to customer problems.

In a time when only 30% of small businesses survive ten years, IT Cadre has flourished. In the past ten years, under Mark’s leadership and vision, IT Cadre has won significant contracts with government and commercial clients and provided customers the difference they needed to succeed.

Mark holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering with a concentration in Computer Science from the United States Military Academy at West Point. As an Army Officer, he was Airborne and Ranger qualified and served in the 4th Infantry Division.
