Charlie Roer

Charlie’s management experience spans a wide range of industries, including financial services, software technology, printing and paper manufacturing. As a leader of nationwide sales teams, he has performed a key role in achieving exceptional revenue growth and profitability. He has a passion for making mutually beneficial connections between people and has worked in the executive search industry since 2004.

Before coming to Cardinal Mark, Charlie was Executive Vice President of Sales for Clark Consulting, Inc. He also served as Director of Major Accounts and East Region Sales for Noosh, Inc. and was Major Account Manager for RR Donnelley & Sons. He has extensive experience building and managing highly consultative, solutions focused sales organizations. Corporations have also counted on Charlie to provide strategic planning, merger and acquisition integration, and agreement negotiation. He holds a B.S. in Business Analysis from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University – Bloomington.

Charlie’s first placement came at age 15 when he helped a friend get a summer job in retail. That friend stayed with the company for over 30 years rising to lead three divisions with over $400M in revenues. Whether he knew it or not, the search bug bit him early.

Charlie, a transplanted Midwesterner, now calls the Piedmont of North Carolina home. Also married with four children (is this a trend?), Charlie is a dedicated runner, reader and all around fix-it guy.

Working in the technology, medical, and financial services industries since the early 1980s, Jim has gained a broad understanding of how technology integrates with marketing and sales, as well as first-hand experience in account, product, and technology management.
