H. Randall Morgan, Jr., is CEO of Morgan Language Services Corp. (www.morganlanguages.com), a comprehensive language solutions provider based near Washington, DC. Having provided written, spoken and electronic services in over 120 languages for over 30 years, Randy has added "role playing" for U.S. Special Forces as a major focus for his company's activities this past decade. He and his team of 300 Afghan-American employees spend up to 4 weeks at a time living "in character" in mock Afghan villages in the southwestern U.S. to support pre-deployment training for the U.S. military. The core services of the firm, however, continue to be translation and interpretation under corporate, State and Federal contracts. Prior to establishing his current firm, Morgan co-founded ASET International Services Corporation, in 1989, to provide project coordination, translation and interpretation support for corporate and government programs and events. As ASET's Chairman/CEO for over 17 years, Morgan grew the company to 100 employees and $10 million in revenue annually. During the early years of building the company, Morgan simultaneously managed ASET's Moscow office from 1989 to 1995. An international public speaker and executive coach, Morgan provides strategic counseling and Board guidance to multiple institutions, including the Association of Language Companies and the Association for Safe International Road Travel. He serves as Chair of the Maryland-Israel Sister State Committee, and is a past president of the Dartmouth Alumni Class Officers Association. Randy speaks Russian, French, Spanish and some Hebrew, and he is learning Dari and Pashto from his role player personnel. As former Vice President of The Association of Language Companies (www.alcus.org), Randy created the Association's acclaimed Language Industry Survey, which is now in its 19th year of publication.
