William A. Carter is a global expert in technology policy and responsible innovation. From 2020-2023 he was Head of AI Policy at Google.  Before joining Google, he was the Deputy Director of the Technology Policy Program at CSIS, where his research focused on international technology policy issues.  Before joining CSIS, he worked in the Investment Management Division at Goldman Sachs, where he covered geopolitical risk and the technology and telecom sectors. He graduated from New York University with a B.A. in economics.

Will moved to Socorro in 2020 with his wife Mariah, who was born and raised in town. When they first came to Socorro they meant to visit for two weeks, but quickly fell in love with the natural beauty and lifestyle and decided to stay permanently. Will’s mother-in-law operated a pork farm in the valley, and introduced him to many of the local farmers and ranchers, who he enjoys helping out as a break from sitting in front of the computer.

We are committed to building our life here in Socorro, and that means engaging with the community, investing in it, and protecting the things that make Socorro special. Protecting the natural beauty and agriculture of this area, and ensuring that it supports wildlife is a critical part of that. I hope that my experience building strategic partnerships with companies and shaping public policy outcomes can help RGALT deliver on its important mission.
