Randy Alsman came to Donaldson Capital Management after building a track record of success over 35 years in private industry. Graduating from Ball State University in 1973 with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting, Randy joined the audit staff of Price WaterhouseCoopers, one of the world's largest public accounting firms. As part of the firm's new Indianapolis office, Randy earned his CPA certification and spent more hours than he cares to remember examining the operations and financial statements of successful - and not so successful - businesses.
In 1976, Randy joined the finance staff of Mead Johnson Nutritionals, a $3 billion wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb in Evansville, Indiana. During more than 31 years with Mead Johnson and Bristol, Randy was promoted through a number of positions of increasing responsibility in what felt like nearly every department, including two years at Bristol's New York headquarters directly supporting the Executive Vice President and President, Consumer Group of Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Back in Evansville with MJN, Randy moved through Product Group Marketing Director for Enfamil, MJN's largest product, District Sales Manager, Director of Regional Marketing, Vice President of Sales, Vice President of Finance and Information Management, Vice President and General Manager of Latin America and Canada, and in 2000, President of Mead Johnson's $2 billion US business, having responsibility as well for the global leadership of Research and Development, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Finance, Information Management, Legal, Public Affairs and other functions.
From 2004 through 2008, Randy also worked for BMY in Princeton, New Jersey with the $8 billion US Pharmaceutical Division, as Senior Vice President of their managed care group. While in New Jersey, Randy led a cross-industry team to create and launch the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA.) Since its launch in 2006, the PPA has provided free or nearly free prescription drugs to over five million uninsured patients throughout the United States
Eager to start a third career and move back to Evansville near family and long-time friends, Randy retired from Bristol-Myers Squibb in August of 2007. In a turn of events he considers his luckiest, he was able to join Mike Hull – one of those long time friends he wanted to spend more time with – and the staff of Donaldson Capital Management.
Randy is an investment adviser representative of Donaldson Capital Management, a Registered Investment Advisor. Randy engages in occasional strategic management consulting assignments, while also serving on the Business Retention and Expansion Committee of the Greater Evansville Growth Alliance, an organization working to continually support growth and economic vitality of businesses in the greater Evansville area. Randy also serves on the University of Evansville Board of Visitors and the University of Southern Indiana Board of Directors. Randy and his wife, Cheryl, have three married children: Grant, who lives in Chicago, Blake, & Brooke, who both live and work in Evansville.
