Influential Women Spotlights Ronnette Meyers: CEO and President of JLAN Solutions, LLC
Ronnette Meyers is the CEO and President of JLAN Solutions, LLC, a professional services and IT consulting firm specializing in government contracting, information technology, and organizational development. Since founding JLAN Solutions in 2010, Ronnette has guided the company from a small startup to a multi-million-dollar organization supporting federal, state, and local agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation, Social Security Administration, and Department of Justice. Under her leadership, JLAN Solutions has earned numerous certifications, including SBA 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), and currently holds the prestigious 8(a) STARS III contract.
A recognized leader and mentor, Ronnette is deeply committed to empowering others through professional development and community engagement. She serves as the first female Board Chair of Bishop McNamara High School, Vice Chair of Dreaming Out Loud, and as a board member of the DC Chamber of Commerce, where she chairs the Nominating Committee and contributes to the Small Business Committee. She also mentors emerging entrepreneurs through programs such as the Babson College Black Women Entrepreneurial Leadership Program and Women Elevating Women, fostering leadership, business excellence, and confidence among the next generation.
Passionate about giving back, Ronnette combines her professional expertise with philanthropic initiatives that address food insecurity, educational opportunities, and workforce development. She actively inspires young women to enter traditionally male-dominated fields, demonstrating that competence, vision, and determination can open doors to leadership and lasting impact.
With a foundation built on faith, family, and a dedication to excellence, Ronnette has navigated complex federal programs and entrepreneurial challenges, demonstrating that setbacks are not stop signs but redirections toward sustainable growth. She attributes her success to a combination of faith, the example set by her mother, and the support of her community. Her mother instilled in her the importance of discipline, strategic investment, and building multiple streams of opportunity—lessons that continue to shape Ronnette’s approach to leadership and entrepreneurship.
As a leader in government contracting, Ronnette emphasizes the importance of mastering one’s craft. She advises young women entering the industry to understand procurement processes, compliance requirements, and federal regulations, including the FAR. She stresses the value of cultivating strong relationships with contracting officers, partners, and mentors, noting that credibility and trust are essential for long-term success. She also highlights the importance of financial literacy and strategic planning, encouraging women to build organizations grounded in systems, capability, and people rather than relying solely on certifications.
Ronnette identifies the current landscape of government contracting as both challenging and promising. Transitioning from programs like SBA 8(a) to full and open competition can create hurdles in capital, access, and opportunity. Yet, federal modernization initiatives present new avenues for small, agile, mission-driven businesses to provide solutions in data analytics, AI enablement, operational support, and more. JLAN Solutions exemplifies how women-led firms can thrive through capability, credibility, and disciplined execution.
Central to Ronnette’s leadership philosophy are the values of integrity, excellence, service, and legacy. She believes a name is a bond, and that trust, discipline, and consistent effort are essential in professional and personal life. Her commitment to service is evident in her contributions as a military spouse, former federal employee, and business leader supporting public sector agencies.
Through JLAN Solutions, Ronnette Meyers honors her children while building a legacy of ethical business practices, sustainable growth, and meaningful community impact.
