Firm History

Cameron Carmichael’s founders are graduates of two big-time college rivals – Duke University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our firm is named after the legendary basketball stadiums found on each campus: Cameron Indoor Stadium and Carmichael Auditorium. While it may be hard to believe that a Blue Devil and a Tar Heel could co-exist, Gary and Rich have worked together since 2000, and they welcomed another Tar Heel when Martin joined the firm in 2011. Just like the passion, drive and teamwork found on the historic courts of their alma maters, Cameron Carmichael is innovating the way leading companies search and retain game-changing talent.
