Edward C. “Ed” Charbonnet

For half a century, Ed Charbonnet has been working in the IT industry. Since 1974, he has worked for Parts, Inc., served as vice president at AutoMark, and been IT director at ACH Food and ServiceMaster Diversified Health. He has been co-chair of SIM Outreach since 2005 and vice president for development for Amador of America since 2012.

“When I think of my legacy, I focus on three areas,” he says. “One is the family that Michelle and I built, including three adult children, of whom we are very proud. Another is in various IT leadership roles where I’ve mentored numerous people and seen them develop into leadership roles. And third are the people I have helped outside of my work — the legacy of young people learning to experience the potential of technical careers.”

Charbonnet says that those who thrive on service to others do not do it for recognition. We do it because we genuinely know that we gain so much more from our working with them. And we know that this whole community bank as we increase and share skills.
With this in mind, Charbonnet is grateful to his influences, including his parents as well as teachers, professors, and mentors early in his career. Most influential to me was my incredible father who patiently encouraged me to explore,” he says. “Because I got an early start thanks to family, it became a passion of mine to see young boys and girls get an early start and gain strong experience with technology so they might choose careers beneficial to both them and our community.
