Randle Communications Promotes Mike Gazda to Director

by | Apr 6, 2018

Sacramento-based public relations and public affairs firm Randle Communications announced that Mike Gazda has been promoted to the firm’s senior leadership team as a director.

Gazda joined Randle Communications in 2013, after 15 years as a communications executive in professional baseball. He helps lead Randle’s public relations practice and specializes in water and electric utility customer education programs.

“Mike is an excellent strategist and media relations expert who has done an exceptional job managing Randle Communications’ utility clients,” Randle President and CEO Jeff Randle said. “We are pleased to recognize Mike’s achievements with promotion to director. His commitment and contributions as a leader with our organization will benefit clients, his colleagues and the firm.”

Gazda leads a talented team that provides customer education for Golden State Water Company, Liberty Utilities in California and Bear Valley Electric Service. The outreach programs are designed to inform, educate and improve engagement with customers, stakeholders and local media.

“There is no better public relations and public affairs team than Randle Communications, and I enjoy working with professionals who share a passion to perform at the highest level,” said Gazda. “I appreciate the opportunity I’ve been given to help lead Randle’s public relations practice, grow our utility practice and work with great clients.”

Prior to joining Randle, Gazda spent nearly two decades in professional baseball, building and executing media relations and crisis communications programs for regional, national and global audiences. During nine seasons in Major League Baseball, he worked with several of the world’s most recognized professional athletes including Bryce Harper, Stephen Strasburg, Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez and Miguel Cabrera—to successfully navigate a diverse array of challenging issues. Gazda helped open Nationals Park and served as media relations director for the Washington Nationals from 2008-13, after three seasons as media relations manager for the Miami Marlins.
