Newly appointed president of the Research Triangle Institute, a nonprofit North Carolina-based center for multidisciplinary research and development, she is proud of her company's philosophy. This drives our strategy. When we have choices about how we'll grow, we turn to our mission, and it helps us to align ourselves strategically. Victoria Franchetti Haynes. That atmosphere has drawn many of RTI's employees.
People come here specifically because of it.
We have over 1,800 people working for us, and two-thirds of our researchers have advanced degrees. We have specialists in 150 disciplines, from anthropologists and clinical psychologists to epidemiologists and aerospace engineers. We bring together people from various disciplines and ask them to solve a problem as a team. This multidisciplinary approach allows us a very broad view of problem solving. The most recent issue of the institute's research publication, Hypotenuse , illustrates this breadth.
