The Talent Is In: INNOVIM Welcomes 26 New Team Members Across DoD, NOAA & NASA Programs

The first four months of 2026 have been a milestone period for INNOVIM.

This exceptional growth reflects our expanding portfolio, our reputation as an employer of choice, and the trust our customers place in us to staff their most critical programs with top-tier talent. From cleared defense professionals supporting space operations to NOAA program specialists enabling the nation’s weather and atmospheric science mission, our new colleagues are already making an impact.
