He brings best practices, fresh ideas, and a winning attitude that focuses on partnership. He remains patient and thoughtful in stressful situations and is able to take emotion out of the equation. I found Randy to be the best HR Partner/Consultant that I have ever had the pleasure of working with and would gladly endorse his work to any who have questions." and "I had the opportunity to work with Randy for four years at Affirmative Insurance. When he joined the Affirmative team, he inherited a Human Resources organization that had a tactical orientation. Randy very quickly began the process of transforming our human resources group into a strategically-oriented team that added value to the company. He immediately brought in new talent with accomplished skill sets, facilitated by his extensive external network of HR professionals. These HR professionals, under Randy’s direction, significantly upgraded our capabilities and improved our execution. Even though Randy was focused on building an improved HR capability, he always stayed attentive to the specific needs of the operating business units. At all times, his primary objective and driving force is to serve an organization by understanding the unique needs of the business and working in collaboration with line leadership to meet those needs. His solutions are always practical, realistic, and actionable. As a colleague, I always found Randy’s door open, and I was genuinely comfortable discussing sensitive issues knowing that he would provide sound counsel and maintain the strictest confidentiality. In my experience, I consider Randy to be one of the top Human Resources leaders that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He will be an asset to any organization that he joins in the future."
