Kori Randle’s Leadership: Driving Growth & Community Impact
Since Kori joined as CEO, Houston Tents & Events has expanded from pandemic survivor to Inc. 5000 powerhouse (No. 2385 in 2025) and exclusive infrastructure partner for the Houston Texans and NRG Park. However, her focus remains on people – from mentoring women in operations to supporting local nonprofits with event rentals.
Consequently, this HBJ ranking celebrates not just revenue, but real impact: powering 150+ events monthly, from backyard parties in Cypress to stadium-scale activations. Kori’s customer-first approach has earned us spots on WeddingWire Couples’ Choice and The Knot Best of Weddings lists year after year.

As Houston prepares for global spotlight events, Kori Randle and the team are investing in inventory, technology, and talent – all while staying true to our roots in community service. This HBJ recognition fuels our mission: empowering women in business and delivering unforgettable, safe events.
Thank you to our clients, partners, and 70-strong Houston team for making this possible.
