Stacy L. Carpenter
Age: 33
Title: President
Company: Caspian Associates
Company location: Shrewsbury
Residence: Shrewsbury
College: University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Career highlights: As president of Caspian Associates, my job entails making the company’s vision a reality, constantly engaging with the scientific and politico-regulatory communities, harnessing the latest technologies and making sure clients stay embarrassingly happy.
I was led to pursue a degree in wildlife and fisheries conservation because of a curiosity I had in the natural world. During that time of study I became chair of the student chapter of The Wildlife Society. At graduation, a private firm contacted me and offered me a job. It has been one great adventure since.
Community involvement: Several organizations have allowed me to give time and skill to their vision, including Neighbors for Neighbors Inc., The Mug Project and Greenwalks.
I serve as vice president of the Association of Massachusetts Wetland Scientists and I chair the working group for Wildlife and Habitat Restoration through the Wildlife Society.
Currently under construction at Caspian is a giveback program that will provide funds to assist in the purchasing of municipal open spaces. Open space is one of the most underfunded yet value-rich components of a community.
Biggest professional success: The greatest success is the continued respect I receive from regulators and colleagues.
Dream job: This isn’t it?
Businessperson she admires most and why: My father oversaw the operations of a mid-sized company (100+ stores) and was fanatical about the welfare of the employees.
Years of observing the right thing being done when no one was looking left an indelible mark.
