Episode notes
Randi Roberts built a remarkable 30-year career in Pharmaceuticals, rising from Sales Representative to Vice President and Business Unit Head at one of the world's largest pharma companies before serving as Chief Commercial Officer for a start-up. Along the way, she started and ran two businesses. Her journey through four companies (large and small) and multiple career moves taught her to embrace each transition as an opportunity for growth. The value of executive coaching in her own development programs inspired her to make coaching her second career, using her business leadership experience to help others navigate their own transitions. Randi holds a BA in Sociology from San Diego State University and an MBA from The Wharton School of Business. She's an Executive and Career-Life Coach certified by the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and accredited by the International Coach Federation. When she's not coaching, you'll find her near water (she grew up in Santa Monica and now lives on the East Coast), hiking, kayaking, attending music festivals, or reading. She lives with her husband Dave, daughter Emma, and two Border Collies, Charlotte and Wilbur.
