I’m delighted to be a part of the emerging team at BlueLine, which has earned a top 10 spot on Consulting Magazine’s “Best Firms to Work For” for the last two years,” said Ms. Young.
“We are focused on bringing people, process and technology solutions to our clients around the world so that we help them overcome their most complicated business challenges. Having Joanna lead our consulting division, where she can work more closely with our clients, will help them achieve their goals even faster.

In order to meet business requirements from clients and to continue being a market leader in consulting, managed services and staffing, BlueLine will be expanding operations into New England.
