Leadership
Marc Makely
Chief Executive Officer
Marc has been a forward-thinking leader in the construction, utility location & inspection, and tech industries since 1991. He began his career as an underground utility locator at OTS and Byers Engineering Company, before becoming a Project Manager and Inspector at Asplundh. As part of a small group that later left Asplundh, Marc assisted with the start-up of Hawkeye Construction.
In 2003 Marc founded Premier Utility Services, a subsidiary of Hawkeye, where he served as President, facilitating the growth of more than 1,200 new hires and the expansion of services into 24 states. Premier was sold to Leonard Green Partners in 2015; which was Premier’s third and final sale under his leadership. Marc’s ability to recognize that emerging technologies could maximize efficiency and deliver significant cost cutting in the utility space became the inspiration for his next endeavor.
Marc, along with Chris Bartlett, launched Sequel in the spring of 2017 with the goal of updating and replacing outdated workflows with dynamic digital platforms.
Chris Bartlett
Chief Technology Officer
Beginning in 1995 Chris began building a reputation as a skilled information technology manager and executive at multiple Manhattan firms, including Torys, Hahn & Hessen, Solow Realty Company, ICON Capital and others.
In 2014, Marc hired Chris at Premier Utility Services where he quickly broke out of a traditional IT role. During his time at Premier, Chris introduced advanced technologies that would bring superior quality and maximized reliability to their operations, in particular when it came to the challenges of oversight and the precision needed to protect infrastructure.
The opportunity to co-found Sequel with Marc provides Chris the platform to continue innovating cost-effective field data collection and reporting solutions.
