Randal Pinkett

Randal Pinkett is most famous for winning the TV reality show competition, “The Apprentice,” but his passion is using technology to help those less fortunate.


Randal Pinkett has multiple engineering degrees from Rutgers University, Oxford University and MIT. As a graduate student, Randal created online software for low-income families to gather community information on after-school programs, churches and libraries in their area. He chatted with residents to find out what they needed and let them contribute information to the database.

Now, he manages his own consulting firm to help companies figure out how to use technology to organize and convey their information. Pinkett often gets recognized in public since his “Apprentice” win and has used his celebrity status to launch a lucrative public speaking career.
