Rich Carter is President and Chief Executive Officer of SRA International, Inc., based in metro Atlanta area. Founded in 1959, the Sanford Rose Associates organization serves the needs of corporate and institutional clients from over sixty worldwide offices.

In April 1999, Rich acquired the rights to the Sanford Rose Associates—San Francisco office which became one of the largest and most successful in the Network, garnering numerous accolades, such as “Office of the Year” on four occasions and “Five Star Office” for each full year of operation. Rich has also been recognized within SRA as being one the most successful individual executive search consultants as well. Not satisfied with the success in San Francisco, he acquired SRA International, Inc. in April 2005 and runs both operations with his very capable management teams. In addition to his executive search expertise, Rich has over twenty years of general management, technical management and marketing/sales experience in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics. He has held senior positions with multinational corporations, start-up companies and not-for profit organizations.

After obtaining his doctorate in chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Rich joined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. He later moved to the private sector, serving in various management positions for DuPont Medical Products and Baxter Healthcare before joining Chiron Corporation as Director of its diagnostics business unit, which included business ventures with Johnson & Johnson and other global entities in the Far East.

Prior to assuming his role as President and CEO of both SRA International and the San Francisco office, Rich held senior management positions at a medical diagnostics subsidiary of Boehringer Mannheim (Roche) and at a local medical foundation. Having filled high-level healthcare positions both as a hiring manager and a search professional, Rich brings to Sanford Rose Associates an intimate knowledge of the executive search industry at both operational and strategic levels.
