Jim is the company's Chairman and a leader, speaker, author, innovator, motivator, singer, and the creative genius behind Rite-Solutions. Jim helped Rite-Solutions become more than a fine technical operation. He also created a culture of fun, excitement, and “innovation every day” that is leading the industry in identifying thought-provoking concepts to inspire and challenge today’s “knowledge force.”

Jim served in the US Navy Submarine Force, worked at Electric Boat as an instructor, and joined A&T as a project manager. Jim’s unique leadership style helped him earn a promotion to Executive Vice President at A&T and President of a wholly-owned subsidiary called Integrated Performance Decisions (IPD).

Given Jim’s personal drive and vision of a “better way” for caring, nurturing, and leading people, it was inevitable that he would one day run his own company. So, in 2000, Jim founded Rite-Solutions. True to Jim’s dream, the company defies many tenants of the “norm” and seeks new and innovative ways to create relevance for its employees and customers.

Joe graduated from the University of Rhode Island (URI) with a BSEE and earned his MBA from the University of New Hampshire (UNH). Joe also was selected to attend the Harvard Business School Program for Management Development Program. In 2008, he was inducted into the URI Business Leadership Hall of Fame.

During that time, Joe served in the US Navy as a Communications Technician but earned most of his sea time with Electric Boat as an electrical engineer. In 1980, Joe began a long and successful career with Analysis & Technology, where he supported the Naval Undersea System Command (NUWC) in Middletown, RI. Under Joe’s watch, this operation grew to more than 350 people.

With his close friend and fellow A&T alum, Jim Lavoie, Joe formed Rite-Solutions, Inc. in 2000. Joe is currently the CEO and Co-Founder, where he is responsible for the company’s strategy and culture. His legacy is building a solid foundation for its continued success, based on meaningful relationships with employees and clients, into the future.

Linda’s introduction to the Government Contracting world came in 1983 when she was fortunate to work for Analysis & Technology, Inc. She started in the Corporate office, where she learned from the best for four years. Linda then transferred to A&T’s DC office, where she spent seven more years on the government side.

On two occasions, A&T subsidiaries chose Linda to be the Chief Financial Officer. She continued to work for one of the subsidiaries, Integrated Performance Decisions, for another six years. When Anteon Corporation acquired A&T, the company promoted Linda to Vice President. But, watching a shifting culture was difficult. So, Linda decided to join Jim and Joe to help them realize their vision for Rite-Solutions.

Linda’s role at Rite-Solutions was to be a reminder that there are only two assets in a company: your employees and your customers. That principle always guided Linda’s decisions as CFO at Rite-Solutions.

Linda took great pride in providing transparency to the employees and customers regarding the operations at Rite-Solutions. While Linda has transitioned away from the role of CFO, her decisions as a Board Member will always be driven by what is in the best interest of Rite-Solutions’ employees and customers.
