Jim Powers

“Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.”

Jim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in organizational and program management with an IT services focus. Jim started with Ready Computing in May of 2020 as Program Manager on the Federal team to help kick off the first production site of VDIF with the VA. He moved to Senior Program Manager in 2021 to grow our Professional Services State & Commercial division.
