About Charter Software Inc.
Our History
Charter Software Inc. was founded in 1978 by Gerry Fricke, who was succeeded by his daughters – Anne Salemo who became the President/CEO and Mary Moyer, in 1996. When Anne retired in 2019, the company’s COO, Tracy Goodman, stepped in her place as the General Manager, who continues to run operations to this day.
