Jamaican Woman Entrepreneur launches Pocmi.com to make recruitment of immigrant knowledge workers easier

Timing is indeed everything. I remember when Melissa Powell explained to me what she was thinking about doing two years ago. I didn’t get it. That didn’t matter. She saw something  that no one else did, but at that time wasn’t quite sure then how she was going to get it all done.

Now, her clarity of purpose and timing seems perfect, especially given that immigrant knowledge workers were severely affected my America’s 90day order to block and deport people from 7 countries it believe are high risk for terrorist personnel. It sent the American tech industry reeling and rethinking about how to help stranded high level knowledge talent and their families and how it may all affect their business beyond the ban.
