The Calvert Companies

Leadership

R. C. McLauchlan, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Russ founded Calvert Holdings in March 1996 following twenty-six years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. He has led the company through its acquisition and internal development of key units resulting in an operation capable of providing significant drug testing and development, capital investment, management, and media services for emerging biodiscovery and other business organizations.

Prior to founding Calvert, Russ served as president with an early stage pharmaceutical company and a biotechnology company and as an executive with a multinational pharmaceutical/chemical company. He also served as a board member of national and state biotechnology trade associations.

In addition to serving with and heading up national and international companies, you might find Russ running another marathon or decimating the competition in the ranks of amateur golf.
