Marnie Stockman

Marnie Stockman, Ed.D., started her career in leadership with the toughest customers/employees of all... high school math students. Her passion for education and using data and humor to help others grow and succeed took her from the classroom to Sr. Director of Customer Success of a leading Ed Tech company, and now to Co-Founder and former CEO of Lifecycle Insights – a vCIO/Customer Success platform for MSPs. After her successful exit from Lifecycle Insights, Marnie is working on a new project as well as mentoring and advising software startups in the IT and EdTech space. Marnie can talk to a wall, but she would rather talk to a crowd. You can often see her at IT or Ed Tech industry events. She has podcasted with many. She participates on an advisory council for CompTIA. She enjoys wrangling other leaders and SaaS founders to engage in fun and educational content to help grow businesses. She hosts the monthly Bits and Books open book club for MSP Media Network to drive conversations around leadership and business. Her parents raised her and her sister with their own set of rules. Two of the most frequently heard ones were: • Dad: “Don’t be sorry. Be right.” • Mom: “Kill ’em with kindness.” When she isn’t walking and writing books, she can be found playing pickleball or working on projects with her husband, Frank, and two 20-something kids, David and Josie, in Greensboro, Maryland.
