MAU, Inc. Promotes Baker Edwards Hatcher to President

In a strategic move aimed at enhancing growth and innovation, Management Analysis and Utilization, Inc. (MAU) announced the promotion of Baker Edwards Hatcher to President. Having joined the company in 2015, Baker has held various pivotal roles, showcasing his dedication and vision for the firm.

Founded in 1973, MAU has made its mark as a family-owned enterprise focused on delivering workforce solutions across sectors such as manufacturing, supply chain, and technology. MAU is proud to be recognized among the top 75 largest staffing firms in the United States for 2025, driven by its commitment to improving lives through its diverse service divisions, including Manufacturing Supply Chain (MSC) and 3Ci technology services.

Baker stands as a testament to MAU's legacy of family leadership; he is the third generation to take on a prominent role following his grandfather, William G. Hatcher, Sr., and his father, Randall W. Hatcher, who retains his position as CEO. Baker's journey at MAU began with a focus on operations and sales, eventually serving as Vice President of Client Services for 3Ci after successfully managing business development for MSC.

Before his tenure at MAU, Baker amassed valuable experience in New York, working with Korn/Ferry International and PageGroup, where he honed his skills in organizational consulting and recruitment. With an MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School and a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his academic background complements his real-world experience. Additionally, his involvement in local leadership programs and boards, such as the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, reflects his commitment to community development.

As President, Baker is poised to spearhead MAU's strategic initiatives. His focus will be on fortifying partnerships, promoting innovation, and ensuring operational excellence through the expertise of division presidents Doug Duncan (MSC) and Andrea Densmore (3Ci). Randall W. Hatcher, the CEO, emphasized Baker's unique qualifications and his understanding of the workforce solutions industry as vital assets in navigating the company's future.

Feeling honored by his new responsibilities, Baker shared, "Continuing the legacy that my grandfather and father established is a profound honor. I am deeply committed to MAU's mission, and I look forward to collaborating with our talented teams to deliver exceptional value to our clients and communities. Together, we will continue innovating and making a lasting impact."

Baker's appointment is a significant milestone not just for him personally, but also for MAU as it highlights thorough succession planning and steadfast leadership. This promotion reinforces the company’s ethos of long-term growth and its commitment to values that have defined MAU for over half a century. Through its divisions, MAU continues to connect exceptional talent with outstanding businesses, fostering community growth and success.

As MAU embarks on this new chapter under Baker's leadership, the anticipation surrounding its strategic growth initiatives signifies a bright future ahead. The combination of his innovative outlook and the company's solid foundation promises exciting developments in the realm of workforce solutions.
