Technology Sector, a group specializing in serving the
recruiting and staffing needs relating to Information
Technology, Telecommunications, Engineering and Clinical

“I know Rick has the right combination of leadership
experience in sales and staffing among the IT and pharmaceutical
sectors to continue growing this already successful area to even
greater heights,” said Jim Boone, CORESTAFF Services president

cooperatively with the regional general managers on
cross-selling opportunities.
Carlson most recently served as market vice president of

rapidly declining market around to profitability. He was vice
president of sales at Renaissance Learning, Inc, where he led a
sales team to revenue running 17 percent above prior year. And
in his nine-year career at Modis, Inc., an IT services and
solutions organization, he was responsible for impressive
revenue growth as he advanced through the organization,
ultimately serving as senior vice president of its Southern
Region. As a 13-year employee of Capsugel (now Pfizer, Inc.),
Carlson held several successful sales roles, eventually becoming
North America sales director.
