Summary
Mark Ferlatte is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 14 years of experience building resilient, cost-efficient infrastructure and delivery organizations from the ground up. As co‑founder and former CTO of Truss, he grew the company to ~$30M in annual revenue, led high‑stakes recovery and replatforming efforts for healthcare.gov, and transformed deployment and data pipelines to cut release times from days to minutes. His hands‑on background spans systems engineering at massive scale—designing storage and database systems handling hundreds of terabytes and thousands of queries per second—to managing a 120‑person delivery organization across engineering, security, design, and product. Now a partner at Eady, Ferlatte, & Kostibas and a long‑time Truss board member, he combines operational rigor with empathy for teams, specializing in removing organizational impediments so engineers can ship faster and more reliably. An often‑overlooked strength is his track record of building recruiting and hiring processes grounded in research and candidate experience, which helped attract durable talent without outside funding.
