Randall Romer
Mr. Romer, born in 1980, graduated from Stetson University in May 2003 with a Bachelor’s Degree of Business Administration in Finance. Subsequently, Mr. Romer formed a family partnership and spent 4 years constructing and managing a commercial ice plant in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental Philippines. In short, Mr. Romer spotted an opportunity to take market share from an incumbent by locating his facility much nearer the end use customer, with the competitive differentiator being his plant’s shorter, more reliable delivery times. Additionally, Mr. Romer’s family partnership invested in a commercial fishing vessel, which like the ice plant operates today.
