Mark D. Rothman

Until its sale in April of 2002, Mark Rothman owned and operated The MYTA Corporation, one of the largest IT Staffing firms in the Washington, D.C., area. After graduating with an engineering degree from The Ohio State University in 1984, Mark moved to Washington, D.C., to pursue the area’s many technology opportunities. Over the next eight years, Mark worked as a software engineer for IBM and as a software contractor for MCI. While at IBM, he helped design and implement system upgrades for the FAA’s air traffic control system. At MCI, Mark worked on several projects pertaining to the company’s growing network management system.

While a contractor at MCI, Mark saw the need for qualified IT specialists in the D.C. region and decided to start his own consulting company. In 1992, using the second bedroom of his condo as an office, Mark landed his first contract, a three month assignment at Fannie Mae. Over the next 10 years, MYTA assisted some of the region’s largest companies including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Verizon, The World Bank, Lockheed Martin, Cable & Wireless, AT&T, and The Discovery Channel. At sale, MYTA’s annualized revenues were nearly $30 million with a growth rate averaging more than 100 percent per year. Ranked as one of the region’s top 10 IT staffing firms by the Washington Business Journal and included in the 1998 Inc. 500, MYTA hit the 100 contractor mark in 1998 and the 200 contractor mark in 2000. In 1998, Mark was named a Maryland Small Business All Star and in 2000, was named Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in the Washington, D.C., metro area.

After selling the original MYTA, Mark remained an active member of the area business community. He serves on the board of several private companies and works with numerous non-profits including Junior Achievement, The Leukemia Lymphoma Society, and Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ). In 2015, Mark opened a second IT Staffing Firm, MYTA Technologies, modelled after the original MYTA. Similar to the first MYTA, MYTA Technologies works with some of the largest D.C. area businesses including FINRA, Dominion Energy, Washington Gas, and Leidos. MYTA recently celebrated its growth by being earning the 243rd spot on the 2019 Inc. 5000 and reaching 2575 on the 2020 list.

Mark lives in Bethesda, Maryland where he is a proud, single dad of his twins Melissa and Nic
