Nassau, Bahamas - The Hon. Fred Mitchell, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration, has announced two additional appointments to his foreign diplomatic team.
Randy Rolle has already assumed his position as Bahamas Consul General to Atlanta, Georgia, recognised as one of the top business cities in the United States, and career businessman H. Ricardo Treco has been appointed Bahamas Consul General to Miami.
Mr. Rolle received his early education at St. Anne’s Primary and his secondary education from The Bahamas Baptist College, both in New Providence. He pursued and received his tertiary and professional education at Butler County Community, Bethune Cookman College, and Johnson& Whales University.
He has enjoyed a rewarding career in the hospitality industry, which has allowed him to travel and acquire international recognition. A 1998 C.H.A (Caribbean Hotel Association) Scholarship award winner, he has worked in Spain, Seattle and Boston, where he was acknowledged for his exemplary work ethics and representation of The Bahamas.
In 2008, Mr. Rolle received a Bravo Award from Starbucks International for playing a vital role in its market opening of its stores here in The Bahamas. In addition, the new consul general to Atlanta was one of the top three sales executive for Harbourside Resort at Atlantis from 2001 to 2003 and received awards for highest sales volume in the summer of 2003. He also headed the special operations department, a department that he created that was credited for a huge savings within the organisation.
Most recently he was a certified project manager with The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.
Very active in community and civic organisations, Mr. Rolle is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity Inc., Masters of Excellence Toastmasters Club 933001, and a former American football standout with the Commonwealth American Football League’s Nassau Sunburners.
Mr. Rolle is a member of The Mount Tabor Full Gospel Ministries and is married and the proud father of one son, Deshaune Rolle. He is the son of former professional baseball player Randy Rolle Sr., of Bimini and Mrs. Karen Johnson from the Berry Islands.
“Over the years, and particularly in recent years, some close people-to-people ties have developed between The Bahamas and Atlanta, and Mr. Rolle’s vast experience in the hospitality industry will no doubt serve him well as he seeks to further develop these ties,” Minister Mitchell said. “Also, considering that Atlanta is a major business hub, with more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in the United States, his strong sales background should help to reinforce efforts by The Bahamas to attract new business to our country.”
H. Ricardo Treco has been appointed Bahamas Consul General to Miami.

Mr. Treco began school at an early age at Wee Wisdom primary and subsequently attended Jordan Memorial, Kingsway Academy, Miami Military Academy, Queens College and finally graduating from the R.M. Bailey Senior High School in 1975, with five GCEs and eight BJCs.
He later enrolled in Lindsay Hopkins Technical Education Centre in Miami, Florida, from where he obtained an Associate’s Degree in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering. Mr. Treco is also a graduate, with honours, of the Commonwealth Bible College after completing a two-year course on Theological studies, including Homiletics, biblical survey and exposition.
A member of Grace Community Church for 45 years, he has served the church in various capacities during that time.
Mr. Treco is an avid sportsman. He was head coach for the Kingsway Academy senior girls softball team from1999 to 2004 and coached his teams to five BAISS championships.
An avid Junkanoo participant, he has been a member of the Valley Boys Junkanoo group for over 35 years.
Mr. Treco started his working career at the age of 14 and through diligence and a strong work ethic over the years, he eventually opened his own Customer Service and Parts Centre.
Ricardo’s Customer Loyalty Centre is the service provider for Master Technicians Ltd., which also designs, installs and maintains the highest quality HVAC (Central Air) systems, products and services.
“Given the longstanding cultural and commercial links between The Bahamas and Florida, the importance of the Mission in Miami cannot be overstated,” Mr. Mitchell said. “Mr. Treco business acumen and personal dynamism certainly will boost the work of the Consulate.”
