About our founder, Lorri Jefferson

Lorri Jefferson is the founder and President of Vision Tech Group. Prior to starting Vision Tech Group, she spent 25 years in the tech industry, working at Fortune 10 and Fortune 50 companies, bringing innovative hardware and software products to market. For the last five years, Lorri was VP and Head of the Services Technology Platform for HP Inc. based in Houston, Texas. Lorri has multiple patents and publications and is a recipient of the Top Houston Women in Technology award. 

Lorri grew up on a farm in Northern Arkansas. Her parents taught her the value of hard work and living a life of integrity at an early age.  The Jeffersons raised cattle and watermelons and Lorri’s dad always made sure the scale weighed the watermelons a little lighter than in actuality so he would never accidentally cheat anyone. Although Lorri’s parents were hard working and honest people, as farmers they never knew the certainty of their income. This forged a desire early on in Lorri to establish financial stability and to help others do the same.  These life lessons and her desire to serve and help others achieve a strong foundation is what led her to retire from HP Inc and start Vision Tech Group.

Lorri earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Tulsa in 1988. Lorri was born in Arkansas but has resided in Houston, Texas primarily since 1994. Lorri and her family also had the good fortune to live in Taipei, Taiwan for 2.5 years. 

Lorri is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion and was a member of HP’s Diversity and Inclusion Board and the Executive Sponsor of the HP Houston Pride BIN.  In addition, Lorri sits on the board of Encounter Missions International, a non-profit Christian organization that plants affirming churches in Asia, Mexico and Puerto Rico.  Lorri and her spouse host a weekly online Bible study in their home. Her heart is to serve God, serve people and serve the world.
