Charles D. Morgan

 

Charles D. Morgan is the Company Leader of Acxiom® Corporation. Under his leadership for almost 30 years, Acxiom has expanded from a small data processing company into a global corporation that provides customer and information management solutions for many of largest, most respected companies in the world.

In 1972, Charles joined Acxiom as vice president and has served as chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors since 1975. In 1991, he assumed the additional title of president. When Acxiom eliminated executive titles on April 1, 1997, Charles became "Company Leader." He retains the same areas of responsibility.

Charles has an intense interest in technology and continues to actively participate in setting the technical direction for the corporation. By instilling a unique business culture and a vision of success, Charles also is one of the few executives in the country who has seen his company named five times to the coveted list of FORTUNE's 100 Best Places to Work For (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003).

In 2002, Charles joined 13 other senior executives from leading U.S. companies to form the Mailing Industry CEO Council. A non-profit organization, the Council aims to unify the mailing industry and promote the critical role that mail plays in business and commerce. Charles also joined the Enterprise Software CEO Roundtable in 2002. This roundtable is a group of approximately 30 chief executives of the largest software companies that meet to share ideas and review industry trends. Charles also was the 2001 chairman of the Direct Marketing Association and until May 2001 served for eight years as chairman of the board of trustees at Hendrix College, a Conway, Arkansas, liberal arts school widely recognized as being among the best private institutions in the nation.

A native of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Charles is a 1966 graduate of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. Prior to joining Acxiom, Charles worked for six years as an IBM systems engineer.

After a successful auto racing career spanning more than 20 years, Charles semi-retired from driving in 1997 but remains an avid motor sports fan. Among other interests, he is a pilot and has Type Ratings in Citations and Falcon Jets.
