This is a very exciting time for me. Just a few weeks ago, I became the President and Chief Operating Officer of RJ Lee Group, Inc. (RJLG). I feel very privileged to take on a leadership role at this particular moment in the company’s history. During my introductory period, I have realized without a doubt that RJLG is poised for exponential growth in several of its key markets.
Beginning as an organization of less than 15 individuals, RJLG now employs over 200 people of various talents and interests. Our employees have worked tirelessly to develop and strengthen RJLG’s laboratory analysis capabilities and consulting skills over the past 30 years. Today, we represent one of the most competent and capable analytical consulting firms locally and nationally. From information technology to energy independence, RJLG has been on the cutting edge of the sciences that are growing the Western Pennsylvania region.
For the employees of this company and for our valued clients, I will devote myself to ensuring that the company realizes its full potential and the same type of intellectual and financial growth that Dr. Richard Lee oversaw. It is my vision to reinforce the key industries that drive this company and the region forward, while seeking to assist the creative drive of our people. RJLG has remained on the forefront in so many areas because Dr. Lee allowed staff to intelligently move our business forward. I intend to apply the same strategy while establishing the measures and metrics that will allow RJLG to become one of the region’s business leaders.
I look forward to continuing strong partnerships with our current clients as well as developing partnerships with new clients. RJLG is as accessible as ever with a wealth of services and products to offer. I encourage you to explore our website and newsletter in future months as we make new connections and offer novel solutions to help you run your business more efficiently.
I look forward to working with you soon.
Warm regards,
Alex G. Sciulli, P.E., DEE
President & COO
