NPO distinguishes itself by taking a scientific, data-based approach to business.
Charles Redding, President and CEO of MedShare International, a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, GA, never envisioned himself running a non-profit, period. After graduating from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, he started his career as a Developing Engineer for Goodyear. He worked there approximately 4 years, before joining Johnson and Johnson as a Process Engineer. During his 23 year tenure at Johnson and Johnson, Charles grew exponentially due to his insatiable hunger for self-improvement and the organization’s dedication to professional development. Before leaving the company, he worked in many different capacities, the last of which was as the Vice President of Global Operations. In this position, he was required to travel and live all over the world. Eventually, what was almost imperceptible at first, became an increasingly intense desire to return home, back to Atlanta. Consequently, he returned to his roots and took the position of COO at MedShare International, an Atlanta-based, non-profit organization in the medical device industry that shared his passion for caring about people. In a relatively short amount of time, two years, Charles was promoted to the position of CEO.
