Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhillip Markert is a seasoned technologist and founder with 13 years of senior engineering and executive leadership experience, now focused on building AI-first tools that support independence and dignity for people with Autism, ADHD, and dementia. As a former CTO/CIO and SVP who scaled ad-tech platforms handling millions of requests and petabytes of data, he blends deep systems architecture and hands-on engineering with strategic M&A and privacy stewardship. He founded Lissa.ai and MyList.ai to translate that expertise into compassionate, practical products that help users and caregivers manage daily life through intelligent routines and prioritization. His background includes leading globally distributed teams of up to 100 engineers and improving developer velocity through microservices, DevOps automation, and unified front-end portals. An empathetic leader shaped by ministry and personal caregiving—walking alongside an autistic nephew and chronically ill daughter—he pairs technical rigor with a rare focus on human-centered outcomes. Off the clock he’s an avid off-road unicycler, a detail that hints at his appetite for unconventional problem solving.
