History
Chemonics was established as a subsidiary of Erly Industries in 1975 by Thurston Teele,[3] with support from Gerald D. Murphy, the parent company's CEO and largest shareholder.[4] According to Murphy, he started Chemonics because
I've always wanted a way to do two things: one, have my own C.I.A., and two, be helpful to people."[4]
Teele served as the first president of Chemonics until 2002, when he became chairman of the board of directors.[5]
In 1993, The New York Times said the company received 98 percent of its revenue in the form of agency contracts and increased revenues four-fold over the past decade.[4]
