Neil Markey is the founder of Maryland Mindfulness and a former McKinsey consultant and C-level private equity, portfolio company, executive for $200-$500M businesses.  Neil is also a self proclaimed reformed “unhappiness” expert.  Prior to his business career, Neil was a captain in the Army Special Operations, 2d Ranger Battalion, and was deployed once to Iraq and twice to Afghanistan. While completing a dual MBA/MIA master’s program at Columbia University, Neil sought out a mindful meditation practice to improve his own mental fitness and quickly realized the benefits of the practice in his life, work and relationships. Neil has led and participated in multiple workshops, retreats and trainings and was an assistant instructor for the Mindfulness for Business Leaders program at Columbia University. In 2015, Neil completed a mindfulness teacher’s practicum through the MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) teachers training program at Jefferson University’s Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine. While at McKinsey, Neil co-led the internal mindfulness program for consultants and was the first consultant to offer meditation and mindfulness training to clients and top teams.  Neil hopes to continue to unveil the mystique and confusion around mindfulness and make a mindfulness practice easy to understand and accessible to everyone.
