The Vice President of Skills at Interapt in Louisville, Kentucky, Col. Reese Turner, who has led units in the United States Army for nearly three decades, leads a team of 15 people that provide a proven workforce development program in information technology that empowers people with the technical, business and life skills needed by today’s employers. Interapt and Col.
