Carmine Marinaro President & CEO

Carmine Marinaro has more than two decades of experience in building high revenue-producing sales teams. He founded Corporate Information Systems (CIS) in 1987 to address the recruiting needs of venture capital-backed startups, pre-IPO businesses, and Fortune 500 corporations – specializing in the high-tech industry. Since then, Marinaro has expanded his firm’s expertise to serve companies in the life sciences arena and other growth-oriented sectors. His extensive roster of long-term clients includes such notable organizations as  Information Builders Inc., BEA and SAP. Marinaro’s exceptional achievements are reflected in his extensive network of employers and talented sales professionals. He has set an industry benchmark for speed-to-hire by translating these relationships and his deep industry knowledge into successful employer/employee matches. During the past 20 years, Marinaro has grown CIS into one of New Jersey’s largest contingency recruiting firms serving clients nationwide. The firm’s revenue has topped $2 million annually since 1994. Throughout this evolution, Marinaro has maintained a true entrepreneurial approach to doing business, incorporating stringent operational systems development practices and a strong commitment to service and professionalism. He is an advocate of personal advancement and employee professional development. As such, he has placed training and continuing education at the core of the CIS corporate culture. New hires, regardless of past experience, participate in an intensive in-house training period. All employees are kept abreast of the latest industry developments. As the recruiting industry, technology and corporate sales requirements change, Marinaro continues to seek new avenues for enhancing his industry niche. Most recently, this includes launching SalesAnimals LLC (www.salesanimals.com). The venture currently incorporates technology and executive recruiting, “touch and tech” as Marinaro has coined it, as the foundation of what will become a full portal for the sales community. Marinaro’s vision for SalesAnimals involves access to top sales talent for employers; as well as online training, products and services for sales professionals. Marinaro earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Farleigh Dickinson University. Since 1994, he has been an active member of the World Entrepreneurs Organization and served as President for two years of the New Jersey Chapter of the Young Entrepreneurs Organization. He has been cited as an expert source in The New Jersey, Star-Ledger and the Edward Lowe Report, and earned the distinction of being named among the “40 Under 40” in both NJBIZ and New Jersey Monthly magazine.
