Staff

In 2005, Laura J. Johnston, Esquire, and Shirley J. Black, CPA, decided that their combined accomplishments as businesswomen providing professional services could be organized into a business of their own.  Using her financial skills and background as a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and auditor, Ms. Black researched the business start- up process to organize a small, woman-owned business. She then built a limited liability corporation (LLC) to provide professional management consultant services to federal clients in need of organizational, technical, and logistical support.  Ms. Johnson’s legal background working with injured, disenfranchised and uninsured clients helped mold the mission of JB. Together with a shared vision, the women established themselves as owners and managing partners of JB Management Solutions, LLC (also known as “JB”).

JB Staff Strength

JB has recruited, trained and managed the best team for the service practice areas. With a focus on the federal landscape, we also seek out the subject matter experts and technical consultants to augment our core to meet the needs of the programs and operating divisions we support. We host a SME database organized not only by topic, but by region, population expertise and a rating of our service experience with them in the past.
