Jim Perrier is the Founder and CEO of Universal Data, Inc. (UDI), a New Orleans-area managed IT services company he founded in 1982.
He started UDI with a customer obsession that led him to identify untapped demand for a Technology Business Management approach, and he chose the name Universal Data so the business would not be limited by geography as technology changed.
He is credited with pioneering UDI's vision of being 'your best employee' and building a culture of adaptation, reflected in the company's chameleon mascot, and he is committed to growing his people to be the best they can be.
