Marcus Welch, co-founder & CEO of Quadio. Marcus is a lifelong fan of emerging, genre-blending, and experimental music who DJ’d his first radio show at 14 and entered the music industry by joining Twitter’s music partnerships team, where he worked with artists including Lizzo, Hinds, Erykah Badu, and Pusha T. He later joined BlizzardActivision in operations and digital marketing strategy roles for Hearthstone and World of Warcraft, becoming a certified Scrum Master along the way. In 2018, galvanized by the idea that technology could unleash the untapped talent of college artists.

In 2018 Marcus joined forces with his step-cousin Joe Welch and founded – Quadio - a digital hub for collaboration, opportunity, and exposure. Like a lot of companies, Quadio was started by two friends who had a problem they thought no one else was solving. Unlike a lot of companies, those founders were also step-cousins who didn’t actually have a lot else in common.

Marcus spearheaded the conceptualization of Quadio’s product vision and design and competitive strategy and has grown the company to nearly 30 team members engaged in activities ranging from engineering and finance to data analysis and social media.
