[Palestine, Texas | Dec. 7, 2022] Pentecom, a technical data consulting and document conversion company, recently transitioned from a limited liability company to an incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Owners Kathy Rainbolt and Kim Willmott announced the news during a remote staff meeting. Rainbolt said the new structure is a proven succession model and protects the company’s future success.

“We now have 100-plus owners – all dedicated to the same mission and quality standards our customers have come to count on from Pentecom.” She emphasized this is a significant investment in Pentecom’s highly skilled technical team of influential and recognized industry experts.

Willmott added, “Our team cares as much about our customers as we do. This move will help Pentecom retain our top-notch employees long-term and, when needed, help us recruit talent.”

Pentecom’s leadership remains in the hands of those who founded the company in 1997. Rainbolt is now chief executive officer and Willmott is chief financial officer.

As part of the restructuring, Caleb Byrd was promoted to chief operating officer. Byrd has a strong management background and previously served as the company’s technical program manager. In his new role, he will oversee day-to-day operations, allowing Rainbolt and Willmott to focus more on the strategic direction that will lead to continued growth and customer satisfaction.

“We look forward to Caleb bringing his energy, enthusiasm and new ideas to carry on and expand our vision,” said Rainbolt.
Pentecom is headquartered in Palestine, Texas, with a satellite office in Scottsboro, Ala. The company serves a variety of U.S. and international clients, including business, industry and the U.S. military, and is celebrating its 25th anniversary through March of 2023.
