   The closer you are to the mission requirements, the closer you are to the solution.\" In Joanna Alexis was working on the front lines of the Y2K deadline frenzy. Global governments and private entities alike were racing against a potential threat – the clock. At midnight on January 1, would untold legacy systems cease to work? It was an exciting time to be in the computer industry. Alexis emerged with an idea of how companies could and should respond to future technology threats. Her vision was for a company of creative thinkers that would provide proven solutions and use technology to support business growth; that vision became Navstar. Navstar’s strengths were in staying a step ahead of technology changes, recruiting talent with vision and passion, and applying its skills on behalf of its clients. “I wanted Navstar to have a purpose and a focus. I took a chance and entered the government contracting industry. My vision was to help companies respond to threats using technology as a tool.\" By building strategic alliances with technology, commercial partners, and large government contractors, Alexis made a successful market pivot into the intelligence community (IC). In 2014, Navstar graduated from a trusted sub-prime technology partner into a prime contractor winning awards at the Department of Treasury. Today, Navstar is a leading supporter of technology solutions, providing cyber security, big data analytics, data mining, systems engineering, learning, cloud solutions, and management solutions. Navstar works with its partners to service the specific needs of clients and also works directly with federal agencies under the GSA IT 70 Schedule. Under her leadership, Joanna\'s executive team and board of advisors have assisted in the realization of her early vision into an industry leading company poised for growth and even greater long-term success!
