Qualifications and Employment
Years of experience and success in the distribution and capital
equipment industry have allowed me to develop talents which are
unique. I prefer an opportunity with an organization, which will
allow me to utilize my sales and service management skills in a
way that will mutually benefit each of us. My strengths are in
communications, systems, customer service and technical
capacities.
March 2008-January 29, 2010
For the past two years I have been employed by GameTech
International, a Reno Nevada based electronic gaming
manufacturer. My position was Technical Service Manager for the
Eastern Region. As Service Manager, I directed a staff of 15
field technicians throughout the United States. As part of my job
responsibilities, I managed regional budgets, profit and loss,
sales support and over $14MM in inventory. In January of 2010
GameTech elected to downsize and reduce field sales support for
the entire United States. As a consequence, our positions were
eliminated.
