Nancy
Lilly has known since college that she wanted to own and operate
her own business feeling that shes always had the leadership
skills needed to run an organization. Mrs. Lilly enjoys empowering
people and making them feel part of a team. Nancy refers to her
employees as her most valued investment.
Nancy
holds a MS in Engineering Administration from George Washington
University and a BS in Industrial Engineering from Puerto Rico Polytechnical
University. Prior to launching JEM Engineering, Nancy worked as
a Manufacturing Engineer for both Wang and Scope Laboratories in
Northern Virginia. She later became a Lead Assessor for ISO certified
by BSI. This knowledge and experience led her to work as a QA Manager
for Racal and later working as an independent Quality Consultant.
Nancy
started JEM Engineering in 2001 with just herself and husband, Jim,
as the sole employees with one main contract. Since that time JEM
has grown to 30 employees with dozens of contracts, increased revenues
and markets and three additional buildings. Nancys drive,
determination and passion for what she does have led to a steady
30% increase in revenue each year. The quality of the products and
services provided by JEM combined with the dedication of their employees
and the high level of customer satisfaction JEM demands all add
to the company success and growth. Nancy expects the highest level
of quality is currently working on the ISO Certification process
for which JEM expects to be certified by March 2007.
Her
proudest accomplishment is owning and running a company that maintains
100% employee and customer satisfaction and increasing sales from
$250,000.00 in 2001 to over $3,000,000.00 for 2006 and projected
revenues of $5,000,000.00 for 2007.
Nancy
firmly believes in giving back to the community and brings these
values into the work place by having the JEM Staff participate in
food and clothing drives for local shelters, walks for the local
pregnancy center, and on-going monetary contributions to these and
other organizations as well. JEM also participates in an annual
Toy for Tots drive at Christmas. She is also a foster parent in
Montgomery County and has hosted over 23 children in her home over
the past 4 years. The Lillys are a Christian family actively
involved in their local church community and through their church
they also actively support various other community outreach programs.
