Welcome to GovCon Executive Slice, the podcast where we explore the personal paths and pivotal decisions of leaders driving the future of government contracting. This episode features Jena Jones, CEO of PGT Solutions, a woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned IT and strategic modernization partner serving government agencies and healthcare organizations. From her early career as a U.S. Army psychological operations specialist to leading enterprise modernization initiatives at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Jena’s journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a relentless focus on mission success.

Under her leadership, PGT Solutions quickly grew from tactical training roots into a trusted IT and enterprise architecture prime contractor for the VA, known for delivering measurable impact for veterans and beyond. Jena shares how her path—marked by early risks, rapid maturity as a prime, and a commitment to culture and quality—shaped the company’s values and long-term vision.

Outside of government contracting, Jena’s passion for animal welfare has led her to serve on multiple sanctuary boards and launch a new foundation dedicated to giving back. With 2025 ahead, she discusses how PGT is positioning itself for growth, opportunity, and continued service to its clients and community.
