Jackie Meck

Jackie Meck is owner and President of Prominent Technologies, LLC, a software development and technology consulting firm based in Jackson, Mississippi. Throughout his career, he has gained extensive experience developing solutions for the insurance, finance and healthcare and non-profit technology fields.

His computer education began in the 4th grade due to visionary rural educators who invested in new Radio Shack TRS-80 computers. An early sign of his entrepreneurial spirit, he created an early “Print Shop” program in the 6th grade and sold fan-fold banners for 5 cents a letter. In junior high, his first software license was sold and he computerized the required graduation test for the U.S. Constitution. At the urging of his 8th grade teacher, his parents bought him the newly released IBM PC.

An early advocate of internet technology, his first web site was developed in 1995 as the internet came into being. He has spoken at numerous conferences and trade shows about the benefits of emerging technologies and is published in an IBM book on Java case studies.
