Episode 76 Jack Markell, Former Governor of Delaware and M&A professional

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.
