Prior to his business career, Jayne spent over ten years on active duty in the Air Force, including two tours as a fighter pilot in Southeast Asia. In parallel to his corporate career, Jayne served in the Air National Guard, serving in both the District of Columbia and Missouri Air National Guard, and retiring after thirty four years of service as Major General.

Early Life edit

Edward Randolph Jayne II was born on September 25th 1944 in the small rural college and agricultural city of Kirksville, Northeast Kirksville, Missouri. His father was a lawyer and World War II Naval officer veteran, and his mother was a schoolteacher and later an elected School Board Member and President in Kirksville. He is the eldest of three brothers; Marty Jayne, a retired Air Force Judge Advocate General, is a Professor and Department Head of the Criminal Justice Program at Truman University, Kirksville, and Tom Jayne is an attorney with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.

Randy Jayne graduated from Kirksville High School in May 1962, and entered the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado in June of that year. Jayne graduated from the Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in International Relations in 1966 [1] and Jayne entered the Air Force [2] and an Air Force commission as Second Lieutenant. [3] Thereafter he proceeded to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete a Ph.D in Political Science and National Security Affairs in 1969. [4] After he completed his Ph.D he served a series of operational flying and Washington D.C., special staff tours.

Military Career edit

During Jayne’s over ten years as an active Air Officer, he had a number of operational flying assignments, and special staff duty in the White House. After completing Air Force Pilot Training as a Distinguished Graduate (1969- 1970), he served as a special operations pilot flying the A-1E Skyraider in South-East Asia at Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (1971- 1972). In 1974, he completed upgrade training in the F-4 Phantom, and returned to Southeast Asia for a second fighter assignment, this time at Korat RTAFB. Jayne’s combat decorations include two Silver Stars, five Distinguished Silver Crosses and eight Air Medals. [5] Other key military assignments during this time included two tours in the Executive Office of the President (need to be more specific here - Clinton/Carter?) and service as a USAF Jet Instructor Pilot at Moody Air Force Base. In the White House, Jayne served first as a White House Fellow in 1973- 1974 [6] and as a staff member of the United States National Security Council in the Ford Administration in 1976-77 [7] working for General Brent Scowcroft, and serving alongside other young professional staffers such as Robert Gates, Stephen Hadley and Robert Kimmitt.

In 1977, Jayne was appointed by President Carter as Associate Director in the Office of Management and Budget [8] At the same time, he transferred from the active Air Force to the Air National Guard (ANG), where he would serve for over twenty-three additional years as an officer, pilot, commander, and senior staff officer. Joining the District of Columbia ANG in 1977, he flew the F-105 Thunderchief and served as the 121st Fighter Squadron Operations Officer. Moving to the Missouri ANG in 1980, he again checked out in the F-4 Phantom, the same fighter he had flown in one of the Southeast Asia tours. For fifteen years, nine in the F-4 and six in the plane he had been responsible for at McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC), the F-15 Eagle, Jayne was a combat ready pilot in the 131st Fighter Wing in St Louis.

From 1993-1995, Jayne served as the senior “traditional Guardsman” officer in the 1,200-person fighter unit. As Vice Wing Commander, Colonel Jayne led the inspection preparation prior to the 1995 award of the Air Force’s highest Operational Readiness Inspection rating, that of “Outstanding,” to the 131st Wing. [9] He also played key roles in St Louis and the Pentagon in the National Guard’s massive civil response to the Midwestern Floods of 1993-1994 and the nation wide call-up and deployment of ANG forces to Desert Shield/Desert Storm. In November 1995, Jayne was selected to be the Air National Guard Assistant to the Commander of Air Force Space Command in Colorado Springs. He served this leadership role for five years, serving four AFSC Commanders, before his retirement in 2000 as a Major General [10] with over thirty-four years of total commissioned service.


Civilian Career edit

Prior to joining Heidrick & Struggles, Jayne occupied many leadership positions in three public companies, including two Fortune 100 aerospace giants. At General Dynamics (GD), he began his career at the director and vice president levels in the company’s corporate headquarters. In 1987, he was recruited to McDonnell Douglas Corporation, where he served in a number of executive assignments. At Insituform Mid-America he served as President and Chief Operating Officer. [11].

National Security & International Affairs edit

In 1977, Jayne left active military service to accept appointment by Jimmy Carter as the Associate Director for National Security and International Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the Executive Office of the President. [12] In this role, he was responsible for the budget for the United States Department of Defence, Department of State, and the Intelligence Community (IC). [13] During this three year assignment, Jayne participated in a number of major national security decisions, including full scale development and initial production for the F-16, F-18, F-117 Stealth Fighter, AWACS, the Tomahawk Cruise Missile, M1A1 Abrams tank, and NASA’s Space Shuttle.

 

Aerospace Industry edit

In 1980, Randy Jayne left government service to join the aerospace industry, hired by General Dynamics (GD) as Director of Aerospace Planning, and two years later becoming Vice President of Strategic Planning. As a key member of the GD executive team, he was involved in the acquisitions of Cessna Aircraft and Chrysler Defense, and the initiation of major programs such as the F-16C, the Advanced Cruise Missile, Tomahawk, the M1A2 Abrams tank, and the SSN-21 attack submarine. After seven years at GD, Jayne was recruited to what was at the time the second largest defense contractor behind GD, McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC). He joined at Vice President, Program Development for the MDC Astronautics Company. In 1989 he moved to McDonnell Aircraft Company as the Vice President and General Manager of the F-15 Eagle program, leading international fighter effort as it built new aircraft for the US, Saudis, and Israelis, supported offshore assembly in Japan, and supported US, Saudi and Israeli Eagles in operation all around the world. By this time, MDC has surpassed GD as the nation’s largest defense contractor. [14]

In 1990, Jayne became President of McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company. There, he inherited five major firm fixed price development programs and a near term loss potential of over $200 million. Three years later, these contracts had all been restructured or completed, and Missile Systems was a highly profitable operation. In 1994, Jayne was recruited to Insituform Mid-America (IMA) as President and Chief Operating Officer. The late 1994 merger of IMA and Instituform Technologies led Jayne to his present position at Heidrick & Struggles.
