Successfully pioneered a fully electronic, same-day order, delivery, and remittance system for indirect MRO consumables and specialty engineered products ordering, delivery, and remittance system. Introduced the concept of application-based solution selling as a way to differentiate the company, forging a triumvirate between the client, the manufacturer, and the integrator. Collaborated with clients' R&D, engineering, and operations personnel to create safer, better performing, and longer-lasting mission-critical components. Continually demonstrate exceptional leadership skills both within the company and with clients. Obtained, in 2017, a Masters Certificate for Executive Leadership for the 21st Century from Rutgers Business School/Graduate School of Management and Labor Relations.

* Mobilizing during the Midtown Manhattan Steam Main Explosion in 2007, resulting in the creation of 24 custom- designed steam manhole service valves crucial because of the uniqueness of the operating conditions and concern for the environment and a redesign of the specialty steam trap condensate removal manifold, which resides at all 1000 steam manholes in Manhattan.
* Developing a unique Top Entry, Full Port class 300# ball valve with Class 6 shutoff capabilities before every meter set for 400psi at 475deg F. This speciality valve was designed during a collaborative effort by the client, the manufacturer and myself; with all these customized features, it's the only type of this valve in the world today. In addition, provided custom mounting brackets, live steam testing, and Hi Temp custom electric actuators. The transmission and distribution loop in NYC is the world's largest containing actuated and manual NRS Gates & Globes and Custom Condensate Removal B61 Brass Trap Manifolds with Remote Monitoring Capability.
