Randall Sawyer brings deep institutional knowledge and decades of admissions expertise to Fortuna.

Randall’s background gives him a unique edge in helping candidates identify not only what makes them exceptional, but also which schools are the best fit for their goals and values. His extensive experience on MBA-related boards – including GMAC, The Consortium, and The MBA Tour – means he’s seen every angle of the admissions process, from selection criteria to school strategy.

Known for his sharp insights and deep empathy, Randall doesn’t just help clients craft great applications – he helps them set their sights on the schools that will transform their lives and careers.
