selected accomplishments
Start up with immediate profitability. My employer decided to lay-off all
hourly technicians and replace them with subcontractors. Seizing the
opportunity, I resigned my position, initiated a start-up business and
hired those technicians just laid-off. I negotiated a subcontract agreement
with my previous employer to continue their installations using their fully
trained employees. In less than one year, I had also solicited business
from other companies guaranteeing immediate profitability and longevity.
Obtained Master's Degree and Increased revenues > 100%. While managing my
successful sales and service company, I went to graduate school full-time.
Graduated in two years (2001) with Honors and an MBA. Applied learned
principals and techniques. Using in-house talent and existing assets, I
increased revenue over 100% in the first year. Efficiency and productivity
were also improved by 25% in the first six months.
Problem Solving. One of our strategic partners questioned the validity of
us supporting their highly technical product via Internet and telephone
only. I developed a Plug & Play solution ensuring assembly, programming and
testing by our in-house factory trained technicians. I expanded our Help
Desk capability to include end users. This solution was approved by our
strategic partner. My Plug & Play solution went on to generate a 50%
increase in sales and give us the distinction of becoming our strategic
partner's number one dealer in North America.
Team Building. The second largest credit union in Florida put out an RFP
for their main office and fifteen branches. I lobbied for inclusion in the
bid process, competing against the top four companies nationwide in the
marketplace. I recruited a specialized team to respond to the RFP. After
three months, my team received the contract award leading to $500K+ in new
system sales and recurring service revenue of over $100K annually for seven
years, YOY.
