Early Life[edit]

John Goullet has always had a fascination with technology. To nurture this interest, he majored in computer science at Ursinus College, a private liberal arts school located in Collegeville, Pennsylvania.

Given his background in computer science, Goullet embarked on a career in computer consulting. While working in the tech would, John Goullet was exposed to the burgeoning field of IT, or information technology, which back then was suffering from a shortage of highly-skilled professionals. Seeing an unfulfilled need in the IT marketplace, the entrepreneurial-minded John Goullet got the idea to start his first company.

Career[edit]

John Goullet started the IT staffing firm, Info Technologies, in 1994 because he saw that many fortune 500 companies were in need of IT professionals, but didn’t know how to acquire them. The idea behind Info Technologies was very simple: Mr. Goullet would use his vast wealth of knowledge in the IT field to find highly-skilled IT professionals and then match them up with fortune 500 companies who were in need of their services. Info Technologies quickly took off, and within five years was bringing in earnings of $30 million, making it one of the most successful IT staffing firms of the 1990s.

In 2010 Mr. Goullet merged Info Technologies with Diversant Inc. to form the new company Diversant, LLC.  Today, Goullet is the Chairman of Diversant LLC which has grown to become a dominant force in the IT staffing industry. Under John Goullet’s leadership, Diversant has expanded to offer IT services to a wide array of industries, including banking and financial services, energy, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, and healthcare. Diversant also has offices in 13 locations throughout the country. By having offices all across the U.S., Diversant has a far greater advantage in recruiting a diverse set of talent that other IT staffing might otherwise left behind.

Since Diversant LLC was formed in 2010, Goullet has watched it grow by leaps and bounds. In 2019 Diversant acquired the Minneapolis-based IT staffing firm, the Alliance of Computer Professionals (ACP), thus allowing the company to expand its reach into the thriving Minneapolis tech market. Diversant’s acquisition came on the heels of the company’s acquisition of the San Francisco-based IT staffing firm Vircon in 2015. Needless to say, with John Goullet leading the charge, Diversant has expanded at a remarkable rate, which is why in just under 10 years, it has grown to become one of the largest and most trusted IT staffing firms in the country.

Furthermore, in 2019 Diversant was listed in the Top 25 of the Staffing Industry Analysts list, the gold standard in the IT staffing industry. 2019 was the fourth year in a row that Diversant moved up a place on the well-respected list, thus adding further prestige to Diversant’s already glowing reputation.
