Matthew Pavelek

We welcome the President and CEO of NaVOBA, the National Veteran-Owned Business Association to the program to talk about his organization’s work in certifying that businesses claiming to be owned or operated by veterans are ACTUALLY who they say they are. With more companies, like Johnson & Johnson seeking to support suppliers and companies that are owned by veterans, a clearinghouse is necessary to ensure that people and companies are who they say they are. A very interesting interview and we thank Matthew for his time.
