Resource Strategies, Inc., Exton, PA March 1987 to September 2001
Officer Manager/ Treasurer
An economic metals, minerals and power consulting company. Started with approximately 15 employees and grew to over 200
worldwide. Merged in late-1998 with British company, CRU International, and was decided in the Spring of 2001 that the US, Exton
corporate offices, would downsize and be closed down. Began my employment as the Executive Assistant to the two owners (President
and Vice President, Treasurer). Within six months became the Officer Manager and took over complete control of payroll, benefits,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, building management/facilities, while continuing to support the President of the company
administratively. After the departure of the Vice President in 1996, I was offered the position of Treasurer. Company grew and I was
given the responsibility of relocating from a small office in Exton to a larger corporate office in the Oakland’s Business Park. Dealt with
realtors in reviewing and locating a new site; after site was approved by President (and Board of Directors), I was given a budget to
convert a 10,000 sq. ft. residence into a functioning business office. Hired and dealt with all contractors, purchased all furnishings and
organized the move from one site to the new site. In 1999, the London office decided they did not want to own real estate in the US;
therefore, I was asked to sell our property and move the offices to a new leased space. In 2001, was asked by the London office to close
down the operation in the US and sub-lease the remainder of our lease with a new tenant and liquidate all belongings.
