Industry Leaders Bring Strategic Expertise to Drive SaaS Innovation and Scalable Growth.

SAIM President Tina Lux-Boim is leveraging her deep expertise in SaaS business growth and digital transformation as she joins the Argus Companies Board of Directors. With a proven track record of driving innovation and expanding market reach, she will work alongside a distinguished group of industry leaders to help shape SAIM’s future.

Joining her on the Board are the presidents of Argus Consulting and Argus Construction Management, reinforcing the company's strategic alignment across its subsidiaries. Additionally, two external technology and SaaS industry leaders, Colette LaForce and Scott Coons, have been retained by Argus and the SAIM team to help support strategic growth initiatives. LaForce joined the Argus Companies Board of Directors earlier this year, and Coons will serve as a strategic advisor to SAIM. Both bring a wealth of experience in scaling software companies, driving technological advancements, and unlocking new market opportunities. Their insights will be instrumental in accelerating SAIM’s growth trajectory.

Trip Frizell, a seasoned corporate attorney and business strategist, has also joined the Argus Board of Directors as Board Secretary. His extensive legal and strategic expertise will provide critical guidance, ensuring that SAIM continues to expand in a smart, sustainable, and well-structured manner.

As a subsidiary of Argus Companies, SAIM is poised for significant growth. The expansion of the Argus Companies Board creates a powerful synergy between internal leadership and external industry expertise. This dynamic blend of knowledge in SaaS, innovation, and business strategy will play a crucial role in guiding SAIM’s evolution as a leader in digital innovation for critical infrastructure.

Under Lux-Boim’s leadership, SAIM is not only strengthening its footprint within aviation but also extending its cutting-edge solutions into new industries. She said the new Board members provide valuable insights:

"The counsel, experience and industry know-how of experienced software executives like Colette and Scott and the expansion of our Board will undoubtedly enhance our strategic direction, sharpen our decision-making, and ensure that SAIM’s platform continues to evolve in ways that best serve our clients’ needs."

LaForce, a recognized expert in SaaS innovation, mergers, and go-to-market strategy—notably in the emerging energy and technology sectors—expressed enthusiasm for SAIM’s potential.

"SAIM is at a pivotal stage in its growth, and I’m excited to help support the team’s journey as a member of the Argus Board. With a solid foundation and a focus on further innovation, the company is in an excellent position to scale efficiently while continuing to deliver real-world value for its clients."
