MONCTON, NB. March 26, 2020 – Dovico Software, Inc. has announced that the company’s Board of Directors has appointed Shelley Butler as President and Chief Executive Officer. She will assume day-to-day leadership of the company.
Butler has served as Dovico’s Sales & Marketing Director and Chief Operating Officer since she joined the Company in September 2001. Yves Doucet, Dovico’s co-founder, has stepped down from his role as President and Chief Executive Officer and will continue as a Culture Coach. Doucet will also continue to serve on the Board of Directors.
“Congratulation Shelley and thank you for accepting this very difficult but important role in our path towards a new future. My most important role as CEO and President of Dovico was legacy. I wanted to ensure that we continue to move forward while building a better and stronger foundation on our values and principles.,” said Doucet.
“It is with great pleasure and honour that I appoint Mrs. Shelley Butler as CEO of Dovico. Shelley has demonstrated tenacity and determination, not only living our values but being an innovator in their foundation. Over the years Shelley has always placed personal issues aside to safeguard the integrity of the community we all love. Shelley is a great leader and demonstrates courage, humility, innovation, in making decisions while being the kindest person I know.”
With over a 30+ year career, Doucet has started 18 companies all aimed at fostering enthusiasm and talent through local investment. It is through the challenges and uncomfortableness of starting new ventures that Yves has grown as an accomplished entrepreneur. He looks for passion in his team and matches that passion with business. Yves’ quest for bridging solutions to problems started very early in his life as a graduate of UNB School of Engineering. His new role with Dovico is in organizational culture coaching, creating meaning for employees with values and intentions.
“I’m very excited and proud to take the reins at Dovico. I have big shoes to fill as Yves has left a legacy of leading with love and a fierce determination in making Dovico an amazing place to feel safe, creative and innovative all while polishing your talents in great training opportunities.” shared Butler.
“Leading Dovico into the next phase of greatness will be challenging but one I am ready to embrace. I’m fortunate that I have Yves by my side throughout the leadership transition, and I’m grateful. I will continue to serve Dovico as I’ve done for the last 19 years with loyalty, love and confidence.“
Shelley Butler has been employed with Dovico for over two decades, affording her an unparalleled and very much “lived” understanding of the people, the clients, the company, and its vision. Butler has successfully led Dovico in roles including Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Director of Sales and Operations, and Chief Operating Officer, making CEO a natural progression.
A hallmark of Butler’s leadership has been her unwaveringly holistic approach to leadership, piercing the corporate veil to work with employees as people rather than resources. With a focus on empathy, compassion, and empowerment, Butler is committed to furthering Dovico’s mission, not just as a time and billing project tracking company, but in her own words, a “project success software company”.
