Ortiz.

As a veteran and co-owner of Nemean, I am proud of our company’s commitment to supporting and hiring our fellow veterans, service members, and family members. It is an amazing feeling waking up daily knowing we have the ability and capacity to hire and support veterans after they served their country – it is very humbling considering the wealth of talent and experience they bring to this company’, said Nemean Solutions’ President Craig Mount.
