Testimonials
When Randy served in the Interim President role at Reynolds Consumer Products, his clear strategic vision, superior communication skills, sense of urgency and team-building approach resulted in significant value enhancement for our PE owner, the Rank Group.
Dan Zimmerlee, CFO Reynolds Consumer Products
A collaborative leader, he welcomed opinions that challenged his, often "war gaming" options with his Sr. Management team before determining the organization's final direction. His empowering, easy-going management style created a great work experience for me. In summary, Randy is a great boss and I'd work with him again any day!
