Hello, (We’re) Mongoose
We’re a team of higher ed enthusiasts who live and breathe our values. (There’s just something about integrity, in the “whole” sense, that unlocks potential.) Yes, that means this is a pretty great place to work. But maybe more importantly, it means you know what you’re getting by partnering with us.
Meet Our Team
Dave Marshall
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who is more passionate about higher education communication than Dave. His desire to create out-of-the-box solutions while employing an under-the-radar approach is evident in Mongoose’s innovative and intuitive software.
Philip Lunas
Phil looks into the future, analyzes all sorts of information, and empowers data-driven decision-making at Mongoose.

Inspired by his father, who championed education and lifelong learning, he’s dedicated to promoting the same in his personal and professional endeavors.
Andrew Veatch

She’s led Marketing teams at large and small EdTech companies, and she taps that experience at Mongoose, leading our Marketing team to make more messages count.

While the financial responsibilities of the company lie in Leslie’s hands (no pressure), her role with the company cannot be restrained by a mere bio. Think “lifeblood.” From operations and accounting to contracts and Client Love, Leslie is holding the reins of a rocket ship heading to the moon. And, she does it all while basking in our gratitude and admiration.
