A Word From Our CEO

Ceo picture Blue sky

“Blue Sky Innovative Solutions (Blue Sky) was established to create positive change for our clients in partnership with our employees, our business partners and the broader community. Heeding the call of United States of America Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, we seek to “Do well by doing good.” Our experience has shown that this worthy goal is obtainable through a laser-like focus on the Three I’s – Integrity, Impact and Innovation – as we engage with the communities that we serve.

Integrity:

We strive to be paragons of integrity to all we serve by operating in true partnership with transparency and candor. We build long-term relationships with our clients, our employees, our partners and our communities that are based on trust, reliability, and loyalty.

Impact:

Never content to maintain the status quo, Blue Sky seeks to help clients achieve measurable progress toward their goals. We do so by hiring highly qualified personnel and providing them with challenging and cutting-edge employment opportunities; providing our personnel with mentorship and guidance to facilitate continual personal growth; equipping our personnel with proven tools and methodologies; and working in open and transparent partnership with our clients. Through our hiring, we impact the broader community by ensuring that we place a special emphasis on finding and developing employees who reside in Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones).

Innovation:

At the core of Blue Sky is out-of-the-box thinking. We are intellectually curious and tenacious. We are constantly developing new ways to help our clients achieve their goals more effectively and efficiently. Blue Sky is a meritocracy because we realize that the next great idea may come from our most recent college hire or a Blue Sky veteran with a long track record for service to one of our valued clients.   Our employees love working with Blue Sky because they know that they make a difference and that their voices are heard and valued.

Blue Sky is grateful for the opportunity to serve. We look forward to solving the next great challenge for our clients; hiring the next Blue Sky change maker; and working with our partners to create lasting impact.”
