Meet Your New Executive Officers
New Executive Officers bring expertise and wisdom by Bailee Wicks Communication Manager
Two local home building associations welcomed new executive officers this year. Both bring unique expertise and fresh perspectives to their new roles.
With three decades of operations management, revenue management, sales and marketing experience as an executive vice president/chief operating officer, Randall spent much of his career handling company operations, driving performance and managing partner relations. He joins the Kitsap Building Association (KBA) after working at the Dow Hotel Company since 2001 in various corporate positions, including implementing effective marketing and operations programs. He looks forward to applying this experience and corporate knowledge. “I am excited to start a new career,” King said. “The support I am receiving from the KBA board and staff is remarkable. Everywhere I turn I am getting help. BIAW support is unbelievable as well as help from NAHB. All this helps me hit the ground running and achieve the goals of KBA at a quicker pace.” King previously held operations, sales and marketing positions at Marriott International, Montclair Hospitality, Interstate Hotels and Resorts and American General Hospitality. His general management experience includes the Hilton San Francisco Financial District, the Nordic Hills Resort, Embassy Suites Chicago–O’Hare/Rosemont and other high-profile properties. A Michigan native, King holds a B.S. in Business from Western Michigan University. He is active in many industry organizations. King enjoys boating, cooking and collecting fine wine. Randall joined KBA on Nov. 15, 2021.
