Running The Foundry & Running on Coffee
-
Randy Hawthorne
Executive Director
Randy is The Foundry’s (nearly) fearless leader. He directs each team member and oversees the organization’s overall strategy, all on top of running and operating a coworking space. Yeah, he’s a machine. Randy also serves as a focal point for Lincoln’s nonprofit community and provides guidance for startups and nonprofits. He serves on more boards than we can keep track of, but that doesn’t stop him from volunteering and engaging in Lincoln’s theater scene.
