Founder & Chairman · LEAD Above
Jason Marks
Twelve years building the businesses behind LEAD Above.
An owner’s judgment. A strategist’s perspective. A commitment to execution.
Business ownership. Sales strategy. Technology leadership.
Built businesses.
Built methodologies.
Built to help you lead.
For 12 years, Jason Marks has built and led the businesses behind LEAD Above and Techrategy, helping organizations strengthen how they sell, develop their people, and put technology to work. As founder and chairman, he brings an entrepreneur’s accountability to consulting: the strategy must make business sense, the people must be able to execute it, and the work must move the organization forward.
Jason advises CEOs, sales directors, CIOs, and leadership teams on the decisions that connect growth, performance, and technology. His work spans business consulting, LEAD sales methodology implementation, custom sales methodologies, leadership development, and AI consulting engagements.
He brings those disciplines together around a practical question: what needs to change in this business, and how do we make that change work?
An advisor who understands ownership.
Jason’s perspective was shaped by responsibility for businesses of his own.
He has owned, grown, and sold a value-added reseller (VAR) business and built a professional-services business that was subsequently sold. That experience brings the realities of margins, customer relationships, delivery, talent, and execution into the consulting conversation.
Through Techrategy and LEAD Above, he has worked with manufacturers, distributors, resellers, service providers, and organizations beyond the technology sector. His experience connects the executive agenda with the people who must translate it into customer conversations, operational decisions, and results.
He understands the difference between a compelling recommendation and a change an organization can sustain.

Business consulting →For sales directors & revenue leaders
Implement LEAD or develop a custom sales methodology around your customers, market, and sales motion. Connect discovery, value articulation, opportunity strategy, manager coaching, and reinforcement into a consistent way of selling.
Sales & leadership →For CIOs & transformation leaders
Shape AI initiatives around business priorities, useful workflows, adoption, and appropriate oversight. Jason helps align executive intent, technical considerations, and the people whose work will change—from an initial use case to a broader organizational roadmap.
AI consulting →Methodology that becomes
part of the business.
Jason’s work includes developing and delivering LEAD, the sales methodology built for technology sales professionals. His focus extends beyond a workshop: helping organizations establish a common language for selling, apply it to real opportunities, and equip managers to coach it.
For organizations with a different sales model, he develops custom approaches that reflect their buyers, offerings, and commercial priorities. Discovery, playbooks, training, practice, and leadership reinforcement are designed to work together.
The same implementation mindset informs his AI and business consulting: establish the business objective, define how the work should change, and help the team put the plan into practice.
Technical depth.
Executive relevance.
Jason’s background spans systems engineering, enterprise and federal sales, business ownership, and executive consulting. Earlier in his career, he held engineering and commercial roles at Cisco, earning recognition for both technical and sales performance.
He also authored a wireless-security white paper for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That work reflects a longstanding ability to translate complex technical issues into guidance leaders and organizations can use.
Today, he applies that combination of technical understanding and commercial judgment to AI adoption, sales transformation, and business strategy. He can engage with the technical detail while keeping the conversation anchored in the organization’s priorities.
The standard is client impact.
“[LEAD Above] has the unique ability to look at any business and provide expert consulting on key areas for improvement.”
Carl Succa · President, Commercial Acceptance Company · Excerpt from published client testimonial
