Carstens, Inc., a women-owned and led manufacturer of healthcare charting, record-keeping, and electronic health record (EHR) support products with a heritage of more than 130 years, today announced the appointment of Michael Campeau as General Manager, effective Nov. 2, 2026.
The General Manager position is a new role created to help lead Carstens into the future and to direct the company's day-to-day operations and strategy. Campeau reports to President and CEO Barb Vanderkloot.
"Carstens has always been a company that listens to the market and builds what caregivers need," said Vanderkloot.
"When my father started Carstens he listened to customers, he innovated, and that is how our charting systems came to be. This is an exciting new chapter for Carstens. The environment our customers work in is changing, and we wanted a leader who could run the day-to-day and help us build what comes next. Mike shares the values that have defined this company: respect for every person who works here and every customer we serve, a family atmosphere, and an open door. I could not be more pleased to welcome him to the team."
Campeau brings more than two decades of commercial and general-management experience to Carstens. He joins the company from Loyalty Foundry, where as co-founder and lead advisor he consulted with firms on strategy, sales technology and general management. He is also co-founder and general manager of Sentio Therapies, a Chicago-based pediatric speech therapy practice.
Campeau holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire.
"It is an honor to join a company that has earned the trust of caregivers for more than a century by paying attention to what they need and building it well," said Campeau.
"The Vanderkloot family built Carstens on respect, on listening and on innovation in charting systems, and my job is to protect that legacy and carry it forward. I have spent my career building sales organizations and customer programs, and I plan to put that experience to work for the people who care for patients. Healthcare keeps changing, and we intend to keep doing what Carstens has always done: listen to the market and bring new innovations to our customers."
Carstens serves more than 30,000 hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities and other healthcare organizations with patient record systems, charting products, medical records storage and front-office solutions designed to help caregivers work more efficiently and spend more time with patients.
