John Jenkins
Government technology professional at Innovate! Inc. Part of the team that delivered federal technology solutions. One of the people who made Innovate a great place to work.
The Arc
John Jenkins was part of the Innovate! Inc. team. That sentence means more than it sounds like. Innovate wasn't just a company — it was a team of people who genuinely cared about doing good work for government agencies. The EPA relied on Innovate to build and maintain Salesforce systems that supported their mission. John was part of the team that made that happen.
Government technology is a field where you don't get applause. You don't get press coverage. You get the quiet satisfaction of knowing that a system you helped build is running correctly somewhere in a federal agency, helping people do their jobs. John contributed to that at Innovate.
Part of the same team as Josh Long, Catherine Nolan, Larry Spackman, Matt Brumberger, Stacey Cogswell, Tom Perkowitz, and the rest of the Innovate crew. That was a team worth being part of.
