What makes Marx Advisory different?

I bring a 360-degree perspective to healthcare that you won’t find with most advisors. I’ve been in your shoes from every angle:

CIO for Major Healthcare Systems

I’ve been on the buyer side, working for giants like Cleveland Clinic and Texas Health Resources. I know what it’s like to evaluate solutions and implement real change in complex organizations.

Board Member for Global Companies

I’ve sat on the board of massive organizations, overseeing their strategy and governance. I’ve seen how decisions get made—and how they sometimes don’t.

Patient

I’ve survived cancer and a widow maker heart attack during the Team USA National Championship. This gives me a personal understanding of healthcare from the patient’s side, and how crucial it is to deliver results that actually save people’s lives.

CEO of a Tech Vendor

On the vendor side, I’ve led a healthcare technology company, so I understand the challenges of developing solutions that actually work in the real world.

Best-Selling Author

I’ve served as a Chief Digital Officer, and I’ve written five books, with my latest in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. I don’t just advise—I lead and create, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare.

Combat Medic and Anesthesia Tech

I’ve served as a combat medic in the Army Reserve and worked as an Anesthesia Tech at University of Colorado Health and Cleveland Clinic, giving me firsthand experience and deep understanding in patient care.

Because I’ve walked in your shoes, whether as a CIO, a board member, a patient, or a vendor, I get you, I understand you, I see you. I’m not just another advisor—I know the stakes, and I’ll help you deliver real, measurable results.
