Mark Googins

Managing Partner

A leader in technology services and passionate entrepreneur, Mark has a history of building successful companies and helping his clients solve business problems with technology solutions.   He started iShift in 2004 and relaunched the company in early 2017 to help businesses and organizations with the challenging transition to cloud technology and services.  iShift now provides services to clients such as Fortune 500 financial services companies, Fortune 100 global aerospace and commercial manufacturers, large medical device manufactures, large healthcare providers, public utilities and state and local government agencies.  This rapid growth proves again that Mark has identified a market opportunity to build a leading technology services company that adds great value to their clients.

In 1995 Mark helped start and manage Calence, a successful technology consulting and services company.  While at Calence, he consulted for some of the world’s most prominent companies including American Express, Charles Schwab, Pfizer and many others.   He also built and led Calence’s nationally recognized consulting services business unit.  Calence was acquired by Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NSIT) in 2008.

In 2004, Mark also founded and managed the private equity firm MAG Capital and the global hedge fund, Ikona Capital.  MAG Capital assisted with raising investment capital, assisted executive teams with business strategy, and conducted M&A due diligence.  In some cases, Mark would manage MAG Capital’s portfolio company’s business operations.  Ikona Captial leveraged a short-term event-driven investment strategy that averaged over 30% annual returns.

Prior to these ventures, Mark held positions at Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting), Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and IBM.
