Marc Fiore: Leading Innovation and Growth in Rochester

Over the past 30 years, Marc has grown Mindex from a small team of software developers into a nearly 400-person organization recognized for its software development solutions in analytics, cloud services, K–12 software, and integrations. This distinction reflects not only Marc’s leadership but also the dedication and talent of the entire Mindex team and their commitment to the Rochester community.

Marc is deeply connected to Rochester and the local community. He has built strong partnerships with RIT, providing co-op opportunities and supporting technology-focused student programs. Each year, Mindex supports a local charity chosen by employees, reflecting Marc’s commitment to giving back and strengthening the region.

Marc’s leadership has earned him recognition, including the 2024  Herbert W. Vanden Brul Entrepreneurial Award from RIT. His 2025 induction into the Rochester Business Hall of Fame reflects his ability to guide a talented team, grow a successful company, and make a meaningful impact on the Rochester community.

Congratulations again to Marc and all of the 2025 Hall of Fame inductees!
