Randy's responsibilities were primarily in the areas of compensation and benefits program design, human resources information systems, employment practices litigation support, and employee data analysis.  For most of his J&J years, Randy's responsibilities involved global programs. At the time of his retirement, he was the Director of Employee Analytics.

“I am delighted to have the opportunity to interact with the School of Business community.”  said Randy Christian.  “There is an exciting energy at the School that enlivens the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiential learnings.  It is great to be able to come back to the School and engage in dialogues with the students, faculty and staff.”
