Top SchoolBrian Mcelaney is a seasoned MarTech engineering leader with over 25 years building web and enterprise systems and 14 years in senior management roles, currently leading engineering programs for Marriott’s owned media. He combines hands-on polyglot engineering—recently focused on Ruby and Elixir with Postgres and OTP—with executive experience scaling and mentoring teams up to 100 across engineering, design, and product. Brian has driven measurable business outcomes, including a 58% Core Web Vitals improvement at Marriott, and has deep experience in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government.

Outside work he’s a certified sommelier and competitive pit master, a detail that reflects his appreciation for craft and process.
