About Jeff Marshall

I’m a technology and cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience driving strategy, automation, and cultural transformation across startups and global enterprises. My focus is aligning technology and security with business goals, delivering measurable results while building high-trust, high-performing teams.At Early Warning Services (Zelle®), I unified security functions into a cohesive strategy, automating 40 percent of repetitive tasks and cutting alert triage time in half. I led initiatives that improved detection coverage by 73 percent, reduced budget by 28 percent through automation, and strengthened overall security posture by over 100 percent. By enhancing third-party SOC collaboration, I helped reduce false positives by 30 percent and tripled detection rule coverage.What sets me apart is how I lead. I believe IT & cybersecurity are not just a function but a culture. I create environments where teams feel like families, grounded in transparency, trust, and continuous growth.Outside of work, I enjoy hockey, MMA, basketball, and traveling with my family. I’m always open to conversations around executive strategy, development, AI-driven innovation, cybersecurity, and building strong, people-centered team cultures.
