Josh Randle is the president of Randle Strategies, a strategic consulting, communications, and development firm he founded in 2018 that advises leading companies and organizations navigating complex public affairs and government relations landscapes.
Josh serves as Senior Advisor to the Washington AI Network, a bipartisan forum he helped found in 2023 to bring together stakeholders from industry, government, civil society, and academia to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing and to address the biggest opportunities and greatest challenges around AI. He is also the award-winning executive producer of the Washington AI Network Podcast.
After graduating from college, Josh was named the first-ever CEO of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Foundation USA—one of the British Royal family’s principal charities—founded in 1956 by His late Royal Highness The Prince Philip, father to His Majesty King Charles III and husband to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
During his first year as CEO, Josh increased the number of program participants by 547%. Within four years, Josh expanded the foundation into all 50 states. In addition, Josh founded a successful juvenile rehabilitation initiative at a state-run juvenile correctional facility in his home state of Mississippi and at a nonprofit boys’ haven in New York—the first initiatives of their kind in the nation.
At age 29, Josh was named the youngest president in the 100+ year history of the Miss America Organization—the nation’s largest scholarship provider for young women. During his tenure at Miss America, the organization, together with its foundation and licensees, increased its scholarship offerings and awarded an average of $6 million annually in cash scholarships and in-kind tuition waivers.
At Miss America, Josh authored a comprehensive strategic plan and instituted a sweeping financial overhaul that resulted in a multi-million dollar revenue increase in just two years.
As president, Josh produced the annual “Miss America Competition” broadcast on ABC, which was, during his tenure, the fourth-longest-running live event in television history—behind the Oscars, the Emmys, and the World Series.
Josh is a magna cum laude graduate of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where he was inducted into the university’s prestigious Hall of Fame. In 2025, he was named to the Ole Miss 40 Under 40.
Josh and his wife, Alex, reside in Georgetown with their children.
