President and CEO
Standard Process | Palmyra
Charlie DuBois leads Standard Process, representing the third generation of family ownership at the Palmyra-based whole food-based nutritional supplement company.
DuBois joined the company in 1983 doing various summer jobs, including hand-weeding the beet fields on the farm. Within a few years, he had the opportunity to help design the Standard Process manufacturing plant in Palmyra while studying electrical engineering at Marquette University. Upon graduation, he joined the company full time as a plant engineer. In 1993, he became executive vice president, and in 1995 he was elected president by the board of directors.
In 1996, the DuBois family became the third generation to own Standard Process, with Charlie carrying on the legacy of his great uncle and founder, Royal Lee. The tradition is expected to continue with Charlie’s children, Simone DuBois and Jack DuBois, who are preparing to provide leadership of the company.
In 2024, Standard Process was named among Deloitte’s annual Wisconsin 75 list, which recognizes the largest privately held Wisconsin-based companies, based on sales revenue. The company has made the list for six consecutive years.
Also in 2024, the company completed construction of a new 60,000-square-foot distribution center located next to the company’s current headquarters and manufacturing facility. The new facility doubled the company’s storage capacity.
Education: Bachelor’s, Marquette University; master’s, Milwaukee School of Engineering
