Provalus Honors Veteran Employees on Veterans Day
November 9, 2022

We’re honoring our veterans today and every day. Thank you for your service and contribution to Provalus.
Meet a few of our veterans contributing to the conversation surrounding Provalus’ commitment to hiring heroes.


“Provalus has allowed me to continue to pursue my military career without making it a struggle. Being amilitary friendly employer means a lot whether people realize that or not. I am thankful that Provalus allows me the flexibility to be able to serve and return to work in a timely manner. Provalus has been nothing short of supportive.”

– Charles Lee | Team Lead, Army Veteran



“I retired from the United States Air Force after over twenty years of service. Provalus gives me the chance to work with other like-minded veterans by helping those in rural communities. Provalus has provided us a new mission, here at home, to continue to give of ourselves to America. As the Principal of Innovation and Technology, I have a unique opportunity to help our community by mentoring young college students, solutioning opportunities for expanding our rural centers of excellence and to have input into our evolving future.”

– Paul Gault | Principal, Technology & Innovation, Air Force Veteran



“My career in the Navy taught me how to be a servant-leader, focusing on the growth and well-being of those around me. For my role as a Delivery Director, I am able to help foster a continuous improvement process, allowing those that wish to up-skill to do just that. At the end of the day, I do not look at Provalus as an IT company—but a People Company that does IT and I am glad to be a part of something that has such a unique mission.”

– Jason Hart | Delivery Director, Navy Veteran
