Randy’s Career Coaching Qualifications

100+ people coached for Career Coaching

Randy has helped clients get into these companies:

Starting my career as a top graduate from my undergraduate university, I believed the world was full of opportunity. But I discovered the path to achieve my dreams was far more difficult than I anticipated. There were no recruiters standing by and no companies pursuing me. I had to forge my way at every step of my career. Over the course of 20 years, I have been coached by dozens of mentors and executive recruiters. With their guidance and my perseverance, I progressed from obscurity to being presented for leadership opportunities with some of the most respected companies in the world. I learned in the trenches of experience and graduated from the "school of hard knocks." For the past decade, I have coached scores of people to help them avoid the difficulties I faced. If you are seeking to open doors, change paths, get promoted, or move to a higher level, I can assist you to achieve your dreams -- without the hard knocks.

About Randy

With over 20 years of experience leading marketing strategy for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 50 global giants, I’ve worked with some of the most respected brands in the world like Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, P&G, Samsung, Target, and many more. I've worked across a range of domains including Tech, Retail, Consumer Products, Fashion & Apparel, CPG, Entertainment, Medical, Manufacturing, and Government. I am also a career mentor for US Special Operators who are transitioning from military to civilian careers. Whether you are at the beginning of your career or at a senior stage, seeking to start a company or manage a global business unit, I can help you to plan your course, pursue your dreams, and achieve your life goals.

Why do I coach?

Over the past two decades, I’ve been mentored by dozens of executive recruiters and leaders. Their insight and advice illuminated paths I didn't understand, shaped my approach, and helped to open doors that never would have opened otherwise. They helped me to get opportunities with some of the best companies in the world. I could not have achieved what I did in my career and life without them. One of the greatest coaches, Tony Robbins, said it best -- “the fastest and most effective way to achieve your goals in anything is to learn from people who are excellent mentors." For the past 15 years, I have been sharing what I discovered in the trenches. It's how I give back. I've always loved mentoring, and it's thrilling for me to see people who I've coached achieve their dreams! I keep in touch with people through their lives. To me, it's a privilege to be a part of the journey.
