Gattaca announced that Chief Sales Officer Grahame Carter has passed away.

In a statement, the group said Carter died in an accident while skiing with family and friends in Switzerland, at the age of 47. 

“It is hard to put into words how loved and respected Grahame was,” the company stated. “He joined us over 20 years ago in 2001 and leaves behind an enormous legacy – not only of the thousands of people for whom he helped build careers, but in the countless close relationships with colleagues and customers he fostered during his time at Gattaca.”

Carter joined Personnel Selection in 2000 as a recruitment consultant and shortly thereafter he joined Matchtech in 2000.

Matchtech rebranded into Gattaca in 2016. In 2017 Carter was promoted to managing director and in 2022 he was appointed as chief sales officer.

“If you knew Grahame, you’ll know how warm, kind, funny, caring and generous he was,” the statement reads. “He had an infectious passion for life and was more than a respected leader within our business – he was a dear friend to many, myself included. Everyone at Gattaca will miss him terribly and cherish the many wonderful memories we shared with him.”
