Management Team

Jason Evans, President and CEO

Jason Evans is the founding partner of PEQ Service + Solutions, Inc., which was launched in 2002 as an LLC and incorporated in 2003. PEQ’s corporate offices are located in the Dayton suburb of Miamisburg, Ohio.

As President and Chief Executive Officer, Evans is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the company. Evans’ vision is to establish PEQ as the preeminent IT service provider in North America. PEQ is committed to partnerships; the company has partner organizations, not customers.

As Information Technology grows, Evans plans to stay ahead of its breakneck pace. Virtualization and IT on-demand (SaaS) are two key services Evans believes will emerge as top concerns for clients, and, under his leadership, PEQ will be able to address these needs completely.

Evans considers his company one of the best when it comes to IT services in the automotive industry. PEQ’s field engineers/software trainers average over 15 years of experience in the automotive space. PEQ effectively manages automotive IT assets to help reduce the tremendous overhead involved in the business of selling cars.

Evans holds Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Management Information Systems and Finance from Ohio University. Before founding PEQ, Evans garnered experience at several major corporations including General Motors, Merrill Lynch and Salomon Smith Barney. He was also a partner in a successful start-up Hollywood entertainment business, which thrives today as a publicly traded company.
