AFFILIATIONS
Randy is an accomplished Senior Executive and Board Member with more than 25 years of success across the non-profit, finance, energy, and technology industries. He has fulfilled roles ranging from Vice-President of Business Development, to Chief Operating Officer, President, and Chief Executive Officer. His broad areas of expertise include sustainability, energy conservation, financial services, fundraising, business development, and organizational leadership.
​
Two significant accomplishments include: Energy Masters International, serving as the VP of Sales & Operations, leading the $125 million unregulated subsidiary of Xcel Energy (a $50 billion gas & electric utility), and most recently as EVP of Global Business Development for Lighting Science Group, a publicly traded LED lighting manufacturer.
​
Since launching World Wide Village, a 501C3, in 2006, he has set his focus on creating sustainable communities primarily in Haiti as well as in partnering countries such as Trinidad, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, St. Lucia, Guyana, Uganda and Ghana, focusing on community development by building and sponsoring local churches and schools, ensuring access to safe water, sanitation, healthcare, and sustainable jobs - all with a goal of eliminating "chronic dependency".
​
In 2015 and 2016, Randy served on The President's Task Force for the Redevelopment and Revitalization of Puerto Rico, which required him to meet with the group on a semi-annual basis at the White House Office Building to discuss strategies and implementation plans for the project. Additionally, in 2010 he served in a leadership role with the Clinton Foundation on the rebuilding efforts of Haiti after the catastrophic 7.0 Mw earthquake devastated much of the area; all efforts were focused on rebuilding Haiti into a sustainable country without dependency on global aid.
