Bio
Jeff Dauble
I had the privilege of working with Randy for over 15 of his nearly 23 years with Best Buy. Randy succeeded in every position that he held, both within the Retail stores and as a multi-unit people and project manager. There are few people in this business that possess both the skill and the high level of passion, determination, energy, loyalty and desire to win as Randy. His extremely high standards, shared expectations, attention to detail and results-oriented persistence are all winning traits which any employer would be glad to have on your team. Thank you Randy for making me a better leader and Best Buy a better company. Continue to win!

I am writing to recommend Randy Willis. He worked at Best Buy as a Field Deployment Manager and reported to me in my position as Territory Deployment Resources Manager. Randy was a part of Best Buy for 23 years and I worked with him for the better part of 16 years of that time. Randy has shown himself to be a highly motivated manager with an eye for detail. He has the ability to adapt to situations and overcome obstacles that are placed in the way of getting the job done. Mr. Willis also has demonstrated the ability to articulate information and ideas in both the verbal and written forms. I am confident that Randy will devote himself to any organization with a high degree of diligence.
