Sevan, a global leader in innovative program management for clients with multiple sites, partnered with NaVOBA to receive the certification—which creates corporate contracting opportunities for veteran and service-disabled veteran businesses through certification, advocacy, outreach, recognition and education.

“Sevan is honored to be a Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise™ via the National Veteran-Owned Business Association,” said Jim Evans, Founder and CEO of Sevan. “As a West Point graduate and former special forces officer, it’s a privilege to receive this designation. We greatly look forward to additional partnerships with other veteran owned organizations and clients across the restaurant, retail and government spaces.”

To be eligible for certification, organizations must be at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more U.S. military veterans.

“Sevan becoming a Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise™ is an incredibly exciting milestone for our team and organization,” said David Hendrix, Chief Commercial Officer. “Many of our clients are looking to maximize their diverse spend goals. Sevan now qualifies as a diverse supplier. We look forward to partnering with our current and new clients with this stamp of approval to contribute to our nation’s overall diverse spend initiatives.”

The certification process included a comprehensive list of business requirements and criteria, along with a rigorous examination and verification process. Certification enables Sevan to be more unique and competitive in the multi-site space.

“Corporations will not risk the accuracy of their Supplier Diversity spending goals by recording spend on contracts with firms that say they are owned by veterans if they aren’t absolutely certain of the ownership, operation and control of that firm,” said NaVOBA President Matthew Pavelek. “Working with a third-party nonprofit organization like NaVOBA and its VBE certification program provides that certainty.”

In 2022, Sevan was recognized as an Employee-Rated Great Place to Work® for the 9th consecutive year. In 2021, Sevan ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for the 4th consecutive year. Also in 2021, Sevan ranked No. 21 on Engineering News-Record (ENR)’s Top 50 Program Management Firms, No. 44 on ENR’s Top 100 Construction Management-for-Fee Firms and earned the Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award.
