Marshall Wood

Analyst, age 27
Exited govt: 9/XX/25 (reported)

A former investment banking associate at Jefferies, Marshall Wood is part of the wrecking crew led by Nate Cavanaugh that has visited multiple independent agencies. He also is a friend of Justin Fox from their days as students at the University of Virginia. Much of DOGE’s wrecking activities have dissipated in recent months, and his own LinkedIn reports that he has now landed in a reward position in Strategic Finance at xAI, one of Musk’s companies.
