About Randall Robillard

WHY: To inspire others to exceed their own expectations. Gallup Strengths: Harmony / Woo / Adaptability / Communication / Positivity When I joined the Navy I knew that I wanted to do something that not just anyone could sign up to do. I needed a challenge that provided me the opportunity to work with like-minded people so I became a Deep Sea Diver where I had to physically push myself like I had never done in my life. As a Navy Deep Sea Diver, I discovered that I truly thrived in challenging, high-stress work environments, as a result the opportunity to go to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) school came about. At EOD school, I quickly learned why the attrition rate was near 80% and again, I rose to the challenge and completed one of the most difficult courses in the Navy. To do EOD work epitomizes being able to work under pressure. That pressure can come from needing to dive in frigid waters to depths up to 300'. It could come from having to jump out of an airplane at feet under the cover of darkness. It could mean hiking though jungles of a decades old combat zone, rappelling from a helicopter or even driving an emergency response truck; which is just the pressure that I work under to get to the "problem". Although there is typically one person working on the "problem" that could be the difference between initial success and total failure, it is the EOD Team that made it possible to even be there in the first place. The strength of the team and the intelligence of each individual could mean the difference between injury to personnel and property or life or death. I excel leading teams and training individuals to succeed. I have a strong work ethic developed through more than a dozen deployments, many in combat zones and a long career career in Special Operations. I live a life of service bound together with integrity and credibility. These are the characteristics that guide who I am and I protect them with everything that I am. Because of this I am trusted, and relied upon to get the job done!
