Allan Collautt combines the qualities of a humanitarian, a leader, a designer, and a businessman in his work as President and CEO of ACA. His personal experiences of living and working in six countries and his academic background in economics and mathematical modeling establish him as an individual with a rare quality of understanding and modeling social phenomena of varying levels of complexity.

Having founded ACA in 1982, Dr. Collautt spent the first seven years of his entrepreneurial career as a leader and a direct participant in numerous ACA engagements with Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies, federal government agencies, large medical facilities, and charitable organizations. From 1987 through 1991, his company slowly transitioned to providing consulting services and information technology products for public welfare agencies, which became the field of Dr. Collautt's calling, commitment, and compassion.

Despite or possibly because of the lack of formal education in direct public service delivery, Dr. Collautt has succeeded in interpreting and modeling the service delivery cycle in public welfare in uniform terms that make ACA’s approach and models applicable to practically every system of public assistance. He has accomplished a challenging task of organizing his company around a common vision, philosophy, and values and sharing with ACA staff his passion and personal commitment for enhancing public systems of care.

Having led ACA through many projects that resulted in the implementation of pioneering solutions and having developed the ACA executive management team, Dr. Collautt has transitioned recently to the role of company strategist and educator, both internally and outside of ACA.

His consulting engagements in pace-setting projects, his continued modeling activities, his voluntary participation in community integration initiatives, and his recognized leadership in international public welfare endeavors contribute to his lifelong professional development and his image as a humanitarian.
