Envoc Signals Major Growth Phase with Appointment of Jim DuBos as President and COO

BATON ROUGE, LA – January 07, 2026 – In a strategic move poised to accelerate its growth trajectory, Baton Rouge-based digital product company Envoc has appointed veteran technology executive James (Jim) DuBos as its new President and Chief Operating Officer. The appointment, effective today, signals a deliberate and aggressive push to scale the company’s operations and expand its market share in high-demand sectors, including Software as a Service (SaaS), enterprise software, and secure digital identity solutions.

DuBos will take the operational helm, overseeing the company's enterprise software strategy, product delivery, and organizational execution. The move allows Founder and CEO Calvin Fabre to focus on overarching strategy and vision, creating a powerful leadership duo designed to guide Envoc into its next chapter of innovation. This appointment is more than a personnel change; it is a clear statement of intent from a company that has already established itself as a regional tech leader.

A Strategic Play for Market Dominance

Envoc has outlined an ambitious roadmap for expansion, and DuBos's appointment is the keystone of that strategy. The company aims to deepen its footprint in several key growth areas: SaaS product development, digital identity, enterprise software modernization, and secure solutions for government and other regulated industries. DuBos's extensive background in founding, operating, and scaling technology-driven companies makes him a natural fit to lead this charge.

"Jim is a values-aligned, fanatical leader in operational excellence, technology, and culture," said Calvin Fabre, Founder and CEO of Envoc. "His experience building high-performance teams, driving operational excellence, and scaling via strategy makes him the ideal leader to help guide Envoc into its next phase of innovations and growth."

The markets Envoc is targeting are ripe for disruption and growth. The global SaaS market continues its explosive expansion, with businesses of all sizes increasingly favoring subscription-based, cloud-hosted software over traditional on-premise installations. Likewise, the need for enterprise software modernization has become critical as companies grapple with outdated legacy systems that hinder agility and create security vulnerabilities. By focusing on these areas, Envoc is positioning itself to solve some of the most pressing challenges facing modern organizations.

Furthermore, the company's focus on digital identity and secure government solutions leverages its proven expertise. Envoc is the firm behind LA Wallet, Louisiana's legal digital driver's license, a high-profile project that demonstrates its ability to navigate complex security requirements and deliver public-facing technology at scale. With DuBos steering operations, Envoc is set to replicate this success across other government and regulated-industry projects, where trust and security are paramount.

The Operational Blueprint for Innovation

While Fabre remains the chief visionary, DuBos is tasked with translating that vision into tangible results. As President and COO, he will have direct oversight of Envoc’s software delivery teams, SaaS product development, and enterprise architecture strategy. His role is to build the engine that powers Envoc's growth—an engine of operational excellence, scalable processes, and high-performance teams.

DuBos brings decades of experience transforming businesses through digital solutions and scalable platforms. His leadership is expected to refine Envoc’s internal processes, ensuring that as the company grows, it maintains the quality and client-centric focus that have become its hallmarks. The company has long prided itself on its collaborative, agile process and its commitment to handling all client work in-house with US-based staff, a practice that builds trust and ensures quality control.

"I am honored to join Envoc and lead alongside such a talented and mission-driven team," said DuBos. "Envoc has built a strong reputation for delivering meaningful, human-centered technology. I look forward to expanding our SaaS capabilities, deepening our consulting expertise, and continuing to build software that makes life better for our clients and their customers."

This focus on "human-centered technology" is central to Envoc's identity. DuBos’s operational blueprint will not just be about efficiency, but about creating a framework where innovation can flourish and where the technology produced has a measurable, positive impact. This involves everything from optimizing the software development lifecycle to fostering a culture that attracts and retains top-tier tech talent.

A Catalyst for Baton Rouge's Tech Ecosystem

The significance of DuBos’s appointment extends beyond Envoc's walls, sending a strong signal about the maturation of the Baton Rouge technology scene. Envoc is already a pillar of the local ecosystem, having been named to the Inc. 5000 list three times and recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work" in the region for seven consecutive years. Bringing a leader with DuBos's national-level experience in scaling tech companies to a prominent local firm underscores the city's growing ambition to be a significant player in the tech industry.

This move can act as a powerful magnet for talent. When established local companies demonstrate a commitment to world-class leadership and aggressive growth, it attracts senior-level professionals to the region and encourages top graduates from local universities like LSU to build their careers at home. It reinforces the narrative that Louisiana is a place where impactful, innovative technology is being built.

By doubling down on complex fields like digital identity and secure government software, Envoc is also cultivating a highly specialized workforce. This expertise not only benefits the company but also enriches the entire regional talent pool, potentially spinning off new ideas, startups, and collaborations that further invigorate the local economy. DuBos’s leadership will be instrumental in mentoring the next generation of tech leaders within Envoc and, by extension, within the broader community.

Under the combined leadership of Fabre and DuBos, Envoc is not just preparing for its own future; it is helping to write the future of technology in Louisiana. With a clear vision, a fortified leadership team, and a strategic focus on high-growth markets, the company is well-positioned to expand its influence and continue delivering technology that empowers businesses, governments, and people to a larger extent, society.
