Michael Randall serves as the Corporate Controller and Senior Director of Finance at Straightaway, where he is responsible for managing the company’s consolidated financial performance and ensuring accuracy across all financial operations.
With a strong background in financial leadership, he previously held roles as Financial Controller of the Americas at Abcam Inc. and Finance Director at Echosens Inc. Michael earned his degree from Northeastern University and brings both strategic expertise and a passion for mentorship to his work.
Originally from Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, he now resides in Harvard, Massachusetts, with his wife, Elena, their two children, Evelyn (5) and Wyatt (2), and their dog, Copper, a playful Brittany Spaniel.
