SVP, Marketing Technology, Discover Financial Services

For over 25 years Jack Garland has been a leader in information technology and analytics.  He is currently the SVP, Marketing Technology at Discover Financial Services but has had a wide variety of technological roles in financial services and healthcare data.  He leads his team to leverage the power of great data, sophisticated decisioning, and meaningful insights to drive better business performance.  His diverse technological background and deep financial services knowledge gives him the expertise to deliver differentiated solutions based on value.  He is as comfortable working with a group of engineers on a complex design as he is sitting with Marketers on identifying and meeting customer needs.
