Randy Metcalfe’s Summary
I bring a strong combination of strategic insight and innovative team management to any position I hold. I am as comfortable in a public relations role as I am in a policy think tank. I have a track record of substantial communications successes.
Whether in a consultancy situation, facilitating a workshop with software developers, or delivering a talk to a large audience, I thrive on the challenge of bringing clarity to an issue. And I'm always up for a new challenge.
