Tammy Carter is the Chief Executive Officer of File & ServeXpress. She leads the company’s vision, strategic direction, and executive decisions.
Having founded CaseFileXpress in 2002, one of the pioneers in eFiling that merged with File & Serve to form File & ServeXpress, Carter provides an understanding and knowledge of eFiling and its impact to court and legal clients that is unprecedented in the industry. Carter brings 30-plus years of client management, IT applications, and public sector experience and over 15 years of eFiling industry expertise to File & ServeXpress.
