As a senior level Proposal Manager, I designed strategies and implemented processes to increase contract

Returning jeopardized accounts to a satisfactory rating

Achieving 100% compliance on internal and external audits

I have been described as an effective leader who proactively analyzes business processes to deliver what is

promised on time and under budget. I attended Duquesne University, served in the United States Army and have

achieved CMII certification in Configuration Management.

SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Reducing quote lead time. Sales representatives at Timken were wasting time due to unclear direction on how to

seek quotes for new projects. Designed a decision tree providing if/then statements to guide sales through proper

channels. Reduced quote lead time by 20%, increasing customer satisfaction with timely proposal turn around.

Increasing new business win ratio. Suntron was generating proposals at higher price points and losing business

due to disjointed internal information flow. Organized a cross-functional team to analyze quote process of each

department. Used Best Practices to create a uniform companywide system, increasing business win ratio by 20%

Meeting customer budget/delivery needs to secure sales. Project team at Suntron presented a bid to a “must-

win” client and was turned-down. Invited client into offices to re-work the quote to directly meet their budget and

delivery needs. Met client’s price without degrading profit margin, generating $100M of additional annual revenue.

Automating time-consuming processes. Complex bill of materials documents taking large amounts of time to be

entered into Oracle manually at Marconi Communications. Coordinated Engineering and IT to create a seamless

automated BOM entry system, freeing-up many hours of time and increasing information accuracy.
