With over 20 years of experience driving strategic initiatives that fuel innovation, maximize performance, and support scalability across a plethora of technologies in the commercial and federal government sectors, Fichera joins AIM from Vana Solutions, a digital consulting firm, where she served as Principal Vice President of Agile Delivery. During her time at Vana Solutions, Fichera built out their Agile Delivery Office and authored the epicAgile delivery playbook to provide teams the boots-on-the-ground tools, templates, and guidance on practicing Scrum or Kanban at the tactical level. Fichera has also worked with DragonSpears to transform their delivery model from waterfall to Agile. Her experience prior was in project delivery at several Chicago-area consultancies. She’s worked at many large-scale clients including the U.S. Air Force, Kraft Foods, The Chicago Board of Trade, Allstate, and Motorola.

Her background is centered around operational efficiency, centers of excellence, and the application of Agile principles to software, product, and service delivery. As the Director of Delivery Leadership, Janna focuses on growing organizational capabilities that drive agility and fuel service delivery excellence.

When asked why she joined AIM, Fichera said, “It’s simple – the people. Every person I met, and continue to meet, is incredibly impressive. Brilliant thought leaders, terrific human beings, highly energetic, and want nothing more than to help clients solve major challenges. Once I discovered the fact that AIM has a Client Delivery Excellence practice who serves to ensure that we, as a consultancy, are providing the best holistic set of solutions for the client’s unique landscape – I was hooked.”

“Janna brings extensive delivery and technology experience in the commercial and government sectors. Her expertise in executive leadership, strategic organizational planning, agile and product transformation, IT and business transformation, and agile coaching is a strong addition for AIM and the Delivery Leadership Consulting practice”, says Chris Upham, National Director of Delivery Leadership. Janna has demonstrated a proven ability at building organizational capabilities, increasing efficiency, cutting costs, and enhancing service delivery that drives business value. ​Her dedication to providing quality and service has allowed her to excel, secure lasting relationships, and become a long-lasting trusted advisor to her clients.
