Biography

Randy has 30 years of management experience in the media and entertainment sector. He is the founder of Worth Magazine, the former Publisher of Esquire, the youngest publisher of a major magazine in history when, at age 29, he took the helm of the men's lifestyle monthly. As a serial entrepreneur, Mr. Jones spearheaded the launch of The American Benefactor—the first magazine about philanthropy from the donor’s perspective, revitalized Civilization: The Magazine of the Library of Congress and invested in and launched numerous media related companies. Random House published his first book, The Greatest Stock Picks of All Time, in 2004 and Hachette published his most recent book, The Richest Man in Town.

Young Presidents' Organization

YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) connects people with successful young chief executives in a global network unlike any other. Founded in 1950 in New York City by a young president named Ray Hickok, the organization unites approximately 20,000 business leaders in more than 120 countries around a shared mission: Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange. A great deal has changed since YPO’s founding but certain things have remained the same: the value of a peer network and trusted mentors, the importance of ongoing education, and the need for a “safe haven” where issues can be aired in an environment of confidentiality. Over the past six decades, YPO has maintained its core commitment to these ideals while embracing change with each successive generation of young business leaders.
