Re: Director of Finance Position

Dear Sir;

As a solutions-focused professional with a comprehensive management

background in finance and accounting, I am exploring available positions

within your organization. I am a highly experienced professional with

documented contributions in the Technology Manufacturing Industry, and I am

confident I will be a valuable asset to your team.

I have continuously demonstrated exceptional strategic planning

capabilities with a focus on implementing process improvements, developing

targeted plans, and delivering results within timelines and delivery dates.

Highlights of my qualifications include:

. Turned around a troubled technology manufacturing company by improving

operational efficiency, cutting costs, reducing staff and satellite

locations, integrating key SOX/COSO Controls, and negotiating new

major contracts. This includes international manufacturing operations

in Shanghai, China and implementation of FCPA policies and procedures

at that location.

. Significant M&A execution and integration experience, which includes

consummation of 72 M&A deals totaling over $15 B in the last 20-years.

Published author on the topic.

. Significant experience raising debt and managing lenders, including

raising over $50 MM with Chase bank, $40 MM from other banks + $100 MM

Project Financing

. Exertive background in scientific and technical instruments, computer

hardware, telecom, and networking equipment.

. BS, MBA, CPA, CFS, CMA, FCPA + AICPA "Hall of Fame" Credentials

. US Citizen living in San Jose

But it's not just about the numbers. It's about the strength of the

organization, the talent and commitment of the employees, the value of the

relationships, and the long-term success of the organization. To that end,

I have:

. Trained, mentored and motivated teams of top-performing personnel that

have far exceeded company goals and expectations.

. Built extensive networks and key relationships, establishing a

reputation for integrity, problem solving abilities, work ethic and

analytical skills.

. Championed development of best practices, delivering consistent gains

in productivity, quality and bottom-line profitability.

I feel certain my strong initiative and commitment to excellence, coupled

with my solid management background will be of immediate value to your

organization. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward

to your response. I hope to learn more about your organization's plans and

goals and how I can contribute to its success.

Sincerely,

Kenneth J. Purfey, FCPA, CFS, CMA, CPA
