Prior to starting his consulting practice, Carey served as Division Vice-President for the ADP Western Region managing a $500M P&L and growing the business 11% year-over-year for 3 years. Starting in 1992, Carey advocated for DEI initiatives at ADP early and often, most of which had limited success. In 2008, Carey leveraged his past experiences to successfully create the first Southeast African American Employee Resource Group (SAARG).

Carey’s successful model became the blueprint for similar employee resource groups developed to support Hispanic, Asian and LGBTQ associates.
