Our Story
In 2013, after more than 15 years designing, building, delivering, and leading the implementation of biometric, identity management, and security solutions for clients around the world, Gena Alexa founded Dignari. Starting out as a developer, she wanted to provide a refreshing alternative to management consulting - one that empowers clients to achieve results by engaging a team that deeply understands the mission and has built and delivered transformative solutions. So she set about building a company that attracts top talent and delivers real value for clients so they can focus on what matters most - their mission.
“I work along side a team that includes the most brilliant minds I’ve worked with throughout my career, working to help our clients build incredible solutions. They have a passion for innovation, a thirst for new technology, a meticulous attention to detail, and an obsession with quality.”
Today, we advise clients on how to deliver successful programs, design solutions that maximize effectiveness, build emerging technology prototypes to quickly prove concepts, deploy full-scale technology solutions and measure performance through data science. After being recognized as one of the nation’s fastest growing companies for two years in a row, our Dignari family continues to grow. We work hard, trust each other, and most importantly, have fun while we’re doing it. We’re moving the needle, winning awards, and repeating success. Thank you for stopping by. Our next success could be your mission. Now, let’s get to work!
Wait, what does Dignari even mean?
The company name defines who we are, not what we do. Dignari is from the latin word Digno, meaning honorable, worthy and dignified. When we look across the company, that’s who we see—a group of honorable, worthy and dignified people, unrelentingly delivering high quality and innovative solutions to our clients to transform the way they do business.

Our greatest joy is a happy client.
“...team is outstanding, and it shows in this new product. Aesthetically, it’s beautiful and the usability is top-notch. The obstacles they’ve overcome to design and deploy a much better application than we had before is commendable. Once our sites see it and use the new features to manage site info and appointments, they’ll be very pleased.”
“The last two months have been demanding for our data teams, we’ve been pulled into multiple priority efforts associated with many tasks, most recently the Coronavirus. We would be at a significant disadvantage without your team’s efforts. This week the Dignari team supported a task that ran till near midnight. They didn’t have to keep working but did so without hesitation or ask. I hope things return to normal soon but wanted to pass along my sincere thanks and appreciation!”
