Gene Randall's award winning journalism career can be measured by the major stories he covered, both in the United States and abroad.
At CNN, as a Washington-based Anchor and Correspondent, those assignments included the fall of the Berlin Wall, the liberation of Kuwait, U.S. troops in Somalia, the Exxon Valdez oil spill and coverage of every U.S. Presidential campaign from 1988 to 2000. With NBC, as Moscow Bureau Chief and Correspondent from 1980 through 1983, Gene chronicled the Solidarity strikes in Poland and the beginning of the end of the Communist domination of Eastern Europe.

Randall brings all that journalistic experience and know-how with him to Gene Randall Enterprises.

In October of 2008, Gene moderated two high-powered panels on U.S foreign trade sponsored by the Commerce Department and the District Export Council at DEC’s Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, California. Expanding on his role in 2007, Gene also acted as Master of Ceremonies.

      A month earlier, Randall moderated a panel on E-commerce and was Master of Ceremonies for the E-Biz Forum 2008, at the annual meeting of the Industry Data Exchange Association (IDEA) at Washington’s National Harbour.  This was an outgrowth of his panel moderating in 2007. IDEA Pres. & CEO Robert Gaylord:  “..your role as moderator and master of ceremonies gave our event cohesiveness.  It was greatly enhanced because of your professionalism, experience, style and preparation”.

     In April, 2007, in San Ramon, California, Gene conducted an exclusive  interview with Chevron CEO David J. O’Reilly on Chevron’s principles for staying out front on the issue of global warming. The appearance, aimed both at Chevron employees and the American public, was put up on Chevron's web site http://chevron.com/social_responsibility/environment/global_climate.asp
At the annual Washington meeting of the National Co-operative Bank, Randall moderated a provocative discussion on the impact of big box stores on the country’s retail economy.

  For the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, in Washington, he led a highly technical panel discussion of the testing and standardization of electrical products in the global marketplace; NEMA’s Al Skolnick “We had very good comments from the membership and the panelists were all positive and appreciated your approach”.

 In Las Vegas, for the National Autobody and Congress Exposition, Randall questioned a panel on the increasingly serious problem of “total loss” vehicle insurance claims; NACE Chairman Geralynn Kottschade: “He delivered exactly what we wanted”.

    Reaction to a series of closed circuit webcasts for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores in San Diego and Las Vegas from Craig Fuller, former NACDS Pres. & CEO: “Gene put all his experience to work for us…All of our expectations were exceeded...we could not have been more delighted”.  Randall is also a writer, producer and narrator of videos which enable companies and others to showcase their accomplishments; it is also a way for a company to show its appreciation to its various divisions with a recognition that their performance is key to the company’s success and, as with Chevron, with Gene Randall on board, on-line videos can help spread a message of corporate responsibility. 

   Soon after hosting panels for the Co-operative Development Foundation in Washington,  Randall was contracted to produce a video highlighting how cooperatives could help meet the growing needs of seniors in the United States.
