Dear Sir or Madam:

As a senior sales, marketing and product development management

professional, I have led, managed and participated in major corporate

transactions, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures,

strategic alliances, partnerships, spin-offs and/or new market development

initiatives. My expertise lies in building market presence, increasing

brand awareness, and driving revenue growth within highly competitive

markets. Throughout my career, I have identified, developed, and

implemented short/long-range global sales, marketing and product

development plans. I am confidently seeking an executive management

opportunity with a top-tier company postured for success, where I can

contribute to corporate recognitions and growth objectives.

My strengths lie in my ability to recognize new opportunities, conceive and

implement action plans, and negotiate strategic partnerships to drive

global market expansion. Equally strong are my qualifications in general

management, P&L management, and staff selection and training.

In over 30+ years I have identified opportunities, overcome challenging

trends, developed and implemented strategic action plans, stimulated

company(s) growth, and strengthened competitive advantage, with a proven

quantifiable track record of sales growth, revenue enhancement, and market

expansion.

Recognizing the changing goals of customers and comprehending

products/services, has created win-win situations, and have made a

measurable difference for both the company and the customer through

enhanced customer relationship management, and promoting team effort and

follow through.

I am seeking an opportunity to expand my range of leadership, and become an

integral part of a company that mirrors my commitment to bottom-line

success. My goal is to work in an environment that is grounded in hard

work, but acknowledges the value of creativity in boosting productivity and

profitability. With my emphasis on quality and service, I am seeking an

opportunity where my ability to manage people, products, and resources to

their highest potential can help guide the transition to my next level of

success.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet, discuss and explore the possible

merging of my talent and experience with your organization's executive

management needs.

Very truly yours,

HOWARD B. DRUCKER
