Mark Figart

I'm a digital strategist and craftsman in service of organizations doing work that matters. I aspire to leave things better than I found them.

Work

Catch me working some days at Pearl.

Through Digett, the agency I founded in 2001, I and my team build digital marketing and operations platforms for organizations that serve the greater good.

  1. High performance websites

    Websites built on agile, modern foundations: fast, accessible, and easy for teams to keep current

  2. Custom web and mobile apps

    Web-based and mobile apps designed around how an organization works, from first sketch to production code

  3. AI and automation

    AI consulting and implementation including strategy, governance & agentic systems. Prioritize and automate for greater efficiency, productivity, and creativity

Before Digett: a senior role at Emerging (a Houston-based) consultancy, and extended consulting engagements with Goldman Sachs, Schlumberger, AIM Investments, and Delmarva Power. U.S. Army, 1983 to 1986

Ukraine

I’ve twice delivered vehicles from London to Lviv with a Rotary convoy. I intend to go again in spring 2027, raising $15,000 more to fund three emergency rescue vehicles. You can give now to support the cause.

  1. First convoy, London to Lviv. Vehicles handed to soldiers waiting in Lviv.
  2. Second convoy, same route, another handoff in Lviv.
  3. Next convoy. Raising $15,000 for more emergency rescue vehicles.
