RECENT EXPERIENCE, from the eyes of others

-Since Ron`s arrival our contract sales in both commercial and government product has increased greatly, leading to significant plant expansion and acquisition. Ron was a big part of both the new commercial and US government contracts; helping us in several project areas needing change or upgrade as well, marketing, product development, quality, material efficiency, inventory management, manufacturing orders... Ron is a -utility player- quickly doing whatever needs to be done. He is intelligent, has a broad base of knowledge and a unique combination of private and public sector experience, he sees the big picture and has contributed greatly to our success.- Tim Gerstbauer, President and Owner, Flexible Concepts, Inc.

-It was my pleasure and honor to have had the assistance and expertise of Mr. Ronald Gerstbauer, in our drive to transform FCI`s Quality System from a system that was at best labor intensive, into a World Class System that actually worked for us. Ron enabled us to complete this monumental task in less than 6 months as opposed to the more than 1 year estimate I had originally forecast.- David Michaels, Director of Quality, at Flexible Concepts, Inc.

"When Ron left Ivy Tech Community College we were poised to build a new 44 million dollar campus; now complete. Looking back, this was a stunning accomplishment as Ron was brought in as Executive Dean just three years before with the operation steadily declining in enrollment; he resigned leading the state's 23 campuses in growth and account collections. Ron had the experience and vision to see where we could go and commitment to get us there".

Teresa Shaffer, Executive Dean/Vice Chancellor, Ivy Tech Community College, Elkhart County Campus
