Strategy, operations, and the way through North Carolina state government.

Dee Jones spent twenty-five years running operations inside state government and large corporations, from a $4 billion state health plan to a $14 billion Medicaid division. DCJ brings that experience to organizations that need a clear path, a cleaner process, the right contacts, or a board that governs well.
