Randall E. Hall

Co-Founder & Executive Vice President

Randall (Randy) E. Hall is the Executive Vice President of UrsaNav, Inc. He brings over 28 years of proven military, government, and management experience to his leadership position. While in the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Randy successfully made his way through the enlisted, warrant, and officer corps. His esteemed military career provided him with countless technical and management skills that have proven vital to UrsaNav. His technical expertise includes: surveillance and navigation systems for maritime domain awareness; port surveillance systems including Sector Command Center Systems, Vessel Traffic Service Systems, Surface Search Radar, and Short Range Aids to Navigation; and Maritime Differential Global Positioning Systems—all core capabilities of UrsaNav.

Although Randy retired from the USCG in 2002, he continued to share his knowledge in the private sector, remaining involved in various business facets including operations, maintenance, depot repair, sales, and support of C4ISR systems until co-founding UrsaNav in 2004.

Randy’s proven ability to manage people effectively stems from a Coast Guard practice he adopted in which you take care of the people who work for you. He proclaims that every success UrsaNav experiences is a direct result of its people and the reputation of quality they propagate. “If people enjoy their jobs and are inspired each time they walk through our doors they will be more productive.” Randy’s rational approach to leadership entails analyzing situations as they arise before reacting and empowering employees to resolve problems and develop business independently. Though he is always on-hand to provide support and guidance when needed, UrsaNav employees sense Randy’s trust in their capabilities and therefore continually aspire to meet his expectations.

Randy asserts that UrsaNav’s upstanding reputation in the industry is a result of the quality of its services and products. He personally extends the company’s reputation in the business community through involvement in civic organizations and participation in various industry events. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance, is a member of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce, and is a charter member of the Small Business Insight Owners Council. As the company continues to thrive in many technological realms, Randy anticipates further expansion in UrsaNav’s products and operations overseas. The vision of UrsaNav’s global reach continues to be realized.

Randy holds a B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from Excelsior College and an (Executive) MBA from the College of William and Mary.
