As Senior Vice President, Jeanne O'Kelley and her team of best-in-class business, software, and enterprise architects, strengthen Vangent's information technology design capabilities and improve its government and commercial clients' enterprise performance through cutting-edge technology and our Enterprise Modernization Methodology.

In 1997, Ms. O'Kelley co-founded Blueprint Technologies, a software engineering company based in Vienna, Virginia, when she saw an opportunity to help businesses increase their competitive advantage by offering reusable software. As President and CEO, Ms. O'Kelley drove the strategic direction and overall vision of Blueprint Technologies, working closely with the Board of Directors and the executive management team. In 2006, her success with this woman-owned, small business enabled Blueprint Technologies to grow strategically and aggressively through its acquisition by Vangent.

Prior to Blueprint Technologies, she joined Rational Software, an e-development company, where she led a field operation that pioneered the transition from the company's defense hardware and compiler solutions to the commercial growth market of object-oriented design and programming techniques. While at Rational Software, she collaborated with industry thought leaders who were driving the software development process based on business requirements captured in easy-to-understand Use Cases and visual models. Prior to Blueprint Technologies, she also co-founded ISI, Inc., a network installation and integration company, in 1983 and BDG, a manufacturing franchise company, in 1989.

Ms. O'Kelley serves as an advisor and mentor to several small businesses, in addition to participating as a member of the leadership team for the Industry Advisory Council (IAC) Enterprise Architecture Shared Interest Group (SIG).
