Our story

At Geocent, we lead — with culture, with grit, and with hard-earned expertise. We help government agencies move faster and achieve their mission: to make our country a better place.

Today, we’re a national operation, with offices on both coasts and employees stretched across the continental United States. But it didn’t start that way. Geocent was born in New Orleans, a city full of love, beauty, art, and determination. We know how to build and then rebuild even better, no matter what comes our way. For us, hardship breeds success. The health of our business and our employees are top of mind. We take care of our people, and at each Geocent office across the country, you’ll find devoted citizens who take care of their communities.

We offer experience and expertise to our government partners, helping them solve their most pressing problems, no matter their size or scale. Most importantly we give agencies the confidence they need to execute their mission with speed and precision — whether that’s building a new digital foundation or flying a spacecraft to Mars.

We love what we do.

We think culture is a bedrock.

Culture is almost a cliché when you mention New Orleans. For us, it’s less about the cliches and more about the relationships and the support. We believe our value lies in our people. Culture doesn’t just help attract amazing people; in fact, it amplifies their abilities. It helps them do their best work.

So we were intentional about this culture, because a culture forms in every workplace, planned or not. When we realized this, we asked the simple question: Why not create a culture we love?
