This team has a demonstrated history of significant contributions toward our success. Jim and Randy have been constants in Enterprise’s leadership and success since 1999. Jim’s recommendation to transition to the co-CEO model in many ways reflects the manner in which Enterprise operates today. Jim and Randy have complementary skill sets and diverse backgrounds.
