Combining solid business acumen with

leadership skills, I turned

underperforming organizations into

profitable entities. By identifying

and implementing superior production,

operations, sales strategies and

employee optimization, I successfully

increased efficiencies, margins and

revenues.

I excel at identifying critical

business requirements and developing

innovative, cost-effective strategies

to improve competitiveness and return

on investments in domestic and

international environments. My

strengths include:

- Streamlining and turning around

operations to enhance productivity

and improve the bottom line

- Designing and launching new

procedures to strengthen estimating

and production capabilities

- Building, training and motivating

multi-disciplinary teams to boost

efficiencies

- Fostering key alliances to optimize

sales and profitability for new and

existing accounts

- Creating organizational strategies

and corporate changes to drive rapid

and profitable growth

My reputation as a change agent is

built on my ability to quickly

synthesize diverse ideas and

implement strategic actions which

produce superior results. Known as an

objective and flexible leader who

adapts his style depending on the

challenge. I earned an Executive MBA

from the University of Nevada, and a

BA from Rutgers University.
