Marcus D. Whitfield

Marcus D. Whitfield is Director of Program Design at SCGK & Co. He translates the firm's research into the member experience: the case-study curriculum, the guided bill audits, and the quarterly review cycle.

He began his career teaching financial literacy in public schools, where he saw first-hand what happens when institutions explain money badly — households tune out, then fall behind. That experience set his design rule: no lesson without a worked example, and no example without a number a household can verify against its own ledger.

He tests every program element with real households before it becomes curriculum, and he owns the member feedback record from first module to capstone.
