Who’s Shelley Butler? In every great organization, there’s a powershifter—someone whose purpose is to transfer power from one person to another. Shelley is Dovico’s powershifter. But instead of taking power from one person and moving it to another, Shelley helps everyone she meets to see the power they have within, and she does it with nothing more than love, dignity and respect. #LoveWins What does Shelley do at Dovico? By title, Shelley is our newly…
A first impression is a mental image you form of someone you encounter for the first time. You create first impressions fast. Science says it takes only 1/10th of a second to create one. The accuracy of the impression depends on the genuineness of the person you meet. If it’s accurate, you’ll produce confidence in the mental image and, thus, trust in that person. Felicia Flewelling creates the best first impressions; she is genuine. She…
Who’s Trent Gallant? Friendship is what social life is all about. It blooms from the bud of two people coming together through a common bond. Both people can change, but friendship only lasts if that common bond stays the same. Sometimes that bond can be made up of the friendship itself, and if that’s the case, it will last a lifetime. Without friendship, life is unbearable. We all need a little help from one another,…
Who’s Dominique Bourgoin? Every team needs energy players. Those who carry their weight on the field, but also add an element of surprise and excitement off the field. When times are down, energy players rise and take the lead. When times are up, energy players maintain the momentum. Dominique is Dovico’s top energy player. As Dovico’s user-experience and interface designer, Dominique is one of the few people that I know who are genuinely made for…
When it comes to generations, much of the conversation is on the elusive “Millennials.” Well, I think its time to think more about “Gen Z.” The generation who’s grown up entirely in an internet world and, more particularly, a social media world. Enter Ryan Chitty. Welcome to the Gen Z club, Dovico! Who’s Ryan Chitty? Ryan is one of our newest teammates and is, by a few years, the youngest. Having just celebrated his 20th…
Who’s J-D Thibodeau? Well, let’s start with his name. His real name is Jean-Daniel Thibodeau. To some, his name can be quite a mouthful to say. But once you get it down, it flows so very well. And that’s J-D! His easy-going and accommodating nature flows so well for our clients and our team as a whole. When you give Dovico Support a call, drop an email, or send a quick online chat, it will…
Who’s Gerard Gallant? If I were asked to describe Gerard in one word, it would be “conviction.” I wanted to ensure that I was thinking of the right word so I searched for the definition of conviction, and it felt right. But by Google’s standards, the word “conviction” is outdated, so I searched for synonyms. The words that I found matched Gerard to a tee: confident, faith and principle. Gerard, our software architect and senior…
Who’s Benoit Lanteigne? Over the years I have had the privilege of meeting some incredible people while working at Dovico. Many people who work here are accomplished in their careers and in life; Benoit is no exception. While he is not one to blow his own horn, when you get the opportunity to speak with him, Benoit has many fascinating surprises in his story. While Benoit is a very knowledgeable software developer by day, he…
Who’s Estelle Johnston? Recently, I had the privilege of revamping Dovico’s staff page. Before sitting down to write all of the staff’s “mini” biographies, I had sent out a questionnaire to the entire team to give me a good starting point in which to write. Of all the biographies that I had received, Estelle’s answers blew me away. Estelle is a very modest and profoundly humble person. Always willing to lend a hand or jump…
