Jack Markell Former Governor of Delaware

Nov 5, 2025 57 min 38 sec

Overview

Jack Markell – elected five times (without a loss) to state-wide office in Delaware, veteran of more than 200 deals in the telecom industry, home from two ambassadorial postings in Europe – finds himself on the biggest stage yet. Jack more than meets the moment in this MMM episode. Discussion begins with a life-changing trip to India before Jack headed to Brown, McKinsey and the University of Chicago. He and the hosts then trade notes on his early days as a deal guy at Nextel, a name that Jack came up with. Much to cover from there – Jack’s career in public service, the differences between managing in business and in government, and the troublesome state of politics today. Jack’s decades-long friendship with Andy – ooh, cut for time.
