NEW YORK CITY-ALM, publisher of The National Law Journal, Real Estate Forum, GlobeSt.com and several other legal and real estate news titles, has named Bill Carter its president and chief executive officer.
Carter, 44, is a veteran of the legal information services industry. He was most recently a senior vice president at Thomson Reuters, where for two years he led the Small Law Business Unit. He has also been a senior executive at LexisNexis, legal technology company Epiq Systems, consulting firm Gerson Lehrman Group, and events and marketing firm GES Exposition Services. From 1997 to 1999, he was a consultant with Bain & Co.
Charles Siegel, ALM’s nonexecutive chairman, says Carter’s varied experience positions him well to lead the company, which provides news and business information to the legal and real estate industries. “Bill has a rich blend of strategic and operational skills that make him the ideal candidate for ALM,” Siegel says. “His leadership experiences in business serving our markets, especially with digital transformations, product development and value creation, will help accelerate ALM’s further growth and profitability. His sharp focus on the customer will be the framework for us going into the future.”
Carter has a master’s degree in business from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, a master’s degree in computer science from Georgia Institute of Technology and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Tulane University.
“ALM is one of the most highly regarded business franchises in the US legal industry, producing and distributing unique, must-have information, news and reference content,” Carter says. “I’m excited to assume the leadership of a media company that has transformed into a digitally focused enterprise providing value-added business information to its customers, and I look forward to working with the talented team of professionals at ALM to continue to drive strong growth of the company going forward.”
Carter replaces William Pollak, who served as president and chief executive officer from 1998 until last month.
