Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCole Erickson is a seasoned IT leader with a decade of experience building scalable, automated infrastructure and support programs for high-growth companies. As Head of IT at Clearcover and now Director of IT at Marathon Digital Holdings, he scaled operations from under 100 to 550+ users in three years while introducing Okta, MDM for macOS/Windows, SaaS management, and Jira Service Management. He combines hands-on technical chops—Python, AWS/Azure, APIs, AD, networking, VDI—with strategic vendor, budget, and governance oversight to keep distributed, remote-first teams productive and secure. Cole favors automation-first solutions and has repeatedly migrated legacy tooling into modern, auditable platforms to reduce toil and improve onboarding/offboarding. Collected experience across startups and enterprise environments gives him a pragmatic appreciation for balancing security, scale, and user experience. Outside IT management, his early background in coaching and operations hints at a people-first leadership style focused on white-glove service and measurable outcomes.
