Randy Carr
President and CEO
World Emblem is a family business started by Jerry Carr in 1993 with his two sons, Jamie and Randy. Jerry was a veteran in the emblem industry and believed that his sons should learn the company and the industry from the bottom up. By working in various positions within the family business, Randy built a solid foundation to handle all of the challenges that come with running an international business. When his father’s untimely passing in 2000 thrust him into the position of President & CEO, Randy was capable to not only keep it running, but to expand it from only 3 locations at the time up to 10 locations worldwide. As the leader of the World Emblem team, Randy not only continues to work towards building his company to new heights, but inspires all those who work for him to do the same.

Jamie Carr
Operating Shareholder
Jamie’s start within the industry began similar to that of his brother Randy. Working in various positions within his father’s company, he solidified his foundation for what would soon be a very rewarding career. Upon his father’s passing in 2000, Jamie also took leadership roles in various areas of the company infrastructure which were crucial to maintaining the family business. Managing several departments from Shipping to Screen Printing, Jamie found his contribution to his company was best served within the realm of Sales. Since then, with Jamie at the helm, World Emblem has gone from a one-manned Sales department to that of 20 sales and territory account managers in various territories throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. Along with his brother, Jamie continues to strive for newer and better heights, pushing the capabilities of his father's company beyond horizons never previously dreamed of.
