RANDY GULIAN
PRESIDENT
Very little gets me more fired up than building businesses in the Human Capital and Technology spaces. For me, the key to success has always been to surround yourself with great people, provide a vision and let them “run”. I founded a retainer based executive search firm that deployed proprietary technology to deliver results to clients in a significantly faster and more efficient manner. Using our technology and services suite, I transformed the company into an end-to end recruitment outsourcing business, (RPO) which was the first of its kind. People thought RPO was a crazy concept at that time, but I proved it wasn’t. Later, when large companies were looking to move into the RPO space I sold my business to Allegis and built it from a 60 person U.S. focused company into an industry leader with over 3,500+ people conducting business in 60+ countries across NA, EMEA, APAC and LATAM. Independently ranked as one of the top three largest and innovative global players in the industry.
​
Technology and technology startups have run through my entire Human Capital business background which is why I'm now involved in providing venture capital and advisory services to technology platforms. Build something, buy something and make it better, think differently. The importance of technology and its alignment with services in the Human Capital arena cannot be overstated.
​
But none of these accomplishments matter, unless you understand the importance of giving back. I am an Armenian by heritage and am proud of what I have been able to give back to our people. I sit on several boards and am the Chairman of the Board for FAR, where we have invested over 350 Million dollars into giving back to the people of Armenia. Infrastructure, Health Care, Education, all vital.
