CHANGING LADDERS
Randy Foust is not a professional career coach. Nor is he significantly experienced in job hunts. Like a lot of you, he was a management professional who climbed his way up one corporate ladder for 20 years, only to find himself in a new city in search of a “new ladder”.
Randy quickly learned that finding a new ladder is a lot different than climbing an existing ladder, but he also found a lot of the skills are transferable. Come hear Randy’s story, share some of your own tips for finding potential ladders and learn from your colleagues as they share some of their stories and tips as well.
MEET THIS MONTH’S SPEAKER!
RANDY FOUST
With over 30 years as an IT professional with Fortune 500 companies, Randy is currently a manager in the IT Strategy and Portfolio Management group at Cardinal Health in Dublin, OH. His technical background is in application development and project management. He has managed all aspects of IT, including business analysis, application development, testing, project management offices, strategic planning, business management and executive client relationship management.
Randy spent his first 20 years climbing the technical-to-management ladder at a regional energy company, including numerous corporate relocations. His job moved again two years after moving to Columbus. He decided to stay, starting his search for a “new ladder”.
Randy is married, the father of two OSU graduates and a freshman at OWU. He attended Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. On the fun side, Randy is currently attempting a “running” ladder change…having gone past the 5K, 10K, 10 mile, half-marathon, and marathon road race steps, he is trying to change ladders to ultramarathon trail runs. Having completed his first 50K trail run last year, he plans to continue climbing to the 50 mile rung (and perhaps beyond).
