RANDOLPH ENGINEERING TAPS SUNNI FLEMING AS VP OF PRODUCT

Eyewear company Randolph Engineering has tapped footwear industry veteran Sunni Fleming as its new vice president of product. Her new role will focus on developing and leading the product vision and strategy for both the Randolph and RE Ranger brands, the company said.

Fleming joins Randolph from New Balance, where her most recent work on the brand’s coveted Made in USA footwear has garnered widespread global attention. Her work with New Balance spans 20 years with a focus on strategy, operations, brand extension, and product management. Whether approaching product through a heritage lens, like the “990 Version Series” or leading with creative partners like Teddy Santis, she has an innate ability to connect people to a brand’s story, making her an amazing fit to lead product for Randolph.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Randolph as vice president of product,” said Fleming. “It is a privilege to join a family-owned and independently operated company that has 48-years of rich history and iconic handcrafted Made in USA product. Our goal over the near term will be to share our brand legacy with global consumers that appreciate quality and beauty, while extending thoughtful iterations of our heritage product to loyal consumers. There could be no better time to join Randolph and it is exciting to be a part of what is next.”

“Randolph is positioned for exponential growth, and the addition of Sunni’s creative talents and wealth of product storytelling experience to the organization is very exciting,” added Peter Waszkiewicz, president and CEO of Randolph Engineering, Inc. “We are fortunate to benefit from Sunni’s great experience in product as well as her many years as a leader of mid-sized companies.  I’m confident that within a few months, our customers will begin to see the positive and substantial results of her contributions.”
