Randolph Brody "Randy" Altschuler (born December 8, 1970) is an American businessman and politician. He was the Republican and Conservative Party candidate for Congress in New York's 1st Congressional District in 2010 and 2012.
Altschuler was born and raised in New York City by a single mother, Sheila Brody, and graduated from Hunter College High School in 1989. He attended Princeton University, working his way through school as a short order cook and campus security guard. He graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in German Studies and Literature, earning High Honors. In 1994, Altschuler studied at the University of Vienna as a Fulbright Scholar. In 1998, Altschuler graduated from Harvard Business School earning a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) with Distinction.
He worked as an investment banker at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette and served as an assistant to the Chief Executive Officer for Deutsche Bank North America, focusing on both strategic and management issues. After getting his MBA, Altschuler worked in private equity at The Blackstone Group. He is the co-founder (in 2001) and Executive Chairman of CloudBlue, an electronics recycling company based in Norcross, Georgia.
In 1999, Altschuler and Princeton classmate Joseph Sigelman started OfficeTiger, a business process outsourcing company (BPO) that performs back office support services for American companies. As of July 2005, Business Week magazine reported that OfficeTiger was the only successful startup in India’s outsourcing industry owned and managed by U.S. entrepreneurs.
With RR Donnelley's acquisition of OfficeTiger from Altschuler and Sigelman in March 2006 for $250 million, and its combination by Donnelly with another Donnelley acquisition, Astron BPO, by September 2006, OfficeTiger expanded to 29 offices and 42 client locations across nine countries and employed 4,000 people in India, 4,000 in Europe, 1,000 in Sri Lanka, 750 in the United States, and 300 in the Philippines. Altschuler has claimed OfficeTiger is not a traditional outsourcing company, but rather one whose overseas employees "enhance the services and jobs that Americans are doing here domestically." Later in the interview, he contends, "You want the professionals here doing different kinds of things than he or she is doing today. Office Tiger allows them to take some of the more traditional tasks and outsource that offshore."
