About Marcus Olson

I saw a need for more humanity in the IT industry, so I built the kind of company I’ve always wanted to work for. Pliancy: a Technology firm that serves forward-thinking finance and life sciences organizations. Pliancy is, above all, a people-first company. It might sound cliche, but the truth is that it’s still hard to find companies that frame their entire business around the employee experience. It’s simple in theory: hire well, trust your employees, and give them everything they need to flourish as people and professionals. In turn, they’ll give customers unparalleled solutions, service, and experiences. Turns out that, although it’s rare for growing companies to follow through with that approach, it’s also pretty simple in practice. You just have to keep making people your priority. I’m proud and humbled to be challenging the IT status quo with the industry’s fastest-growing team of creative problem-solvers.
